Caryl Churchill
Standard Name: Churchill, Caryl
Birth Name: Caryl Churchill
Married Name: Caryl Harter
, widely recognised as one of the top contemporary British dramatists, has written plays for radio, television, and the stage. Many of her plays are developed in workshop settings, in collaboration with theatre groups, composers, and choreographers. Her work often explores gender or class issues from a socialist-feminist perspective. Churchill is also noted for her innovative experiments with theatrical form through techniques such as the juxtaposition of historical and contemporary settings, cross-gender and cross-racial casting, overlapping dialogue, and absurdist word play. Her later plays have focused increasingly on language.
