What is she known for, what is her style, who are her contemporaries and how does she influence theatre.]]> 2016-10-31 11:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/HanWoo/FCCaryllchurchill/wish/134177743 As a writer, Caryl Churchill is elusive - she does not give interviews (as longtime collaborater James Macdonald told the New Yorker “You sometimes feel, as a writer, that you destroy the thing by talking about it”) and will only present her work is complete and once she knows what the script represents and how it should be percieved. Generally her scripts feature subjects that she has been interested in and mulled over for years, but often tackle gender politics, identity, sexual desire and death. Each piece has a timeless quality; no matter when the piece is set or was written, the words still have resonance in the present. Churchill still likes to make the audience think however, leaving most of her plays ‘open-ended’ so that the viewer has to make the conclusion and decide what happened next.

She won an Obie award for ‘Top Girls’ which features an all-female cast. She mainly focused on writing plays that showed the difference between the genders, but mainly focusing on how men are wrong and how bad women were being treated.
