Skriker Video Still

Caryl Churchill's 'The Skriker'

February 27 - March 7

'The Skriker' blends English and Irish folktales to tell the story of an ancient fairy pursuing two young women in 20th century London. Written in 1994 by the critically-acclaimed playwright Caryl Churchill, and directed by Lisa Channer, this increasingly relevant blend of magical realism and horror speaks to our current climate state. 'The Skriker' is a stunningly imaginative play about the consequences humans must face when we exploit the natural world.
