Theatre Mainstage Production: "The Skriker"
to
Online Roanoke, Virginia
Written by Caryl Churchill. Codirected by Lauren Brooke Ellis and Wendy-Marie Martin. The play follows the Skriker, a shape-shifting fairy and death portent from the underworld, in its search for love and revenge as it pursues two young women, sisters Josie and Lily, to London, changing its shape at every new encounter. Along with the Skriker comes Rawheadandbloodybones, the Kelpie, the Green Lady, Black Dog, and others, until the whole country is swarming with enticing and angry creatures that have burst from the underworld. Written by Caryl Churchill, an iconic 20th/21st century feminist playwright, The Skriker is an excellent play for getting into the Halloween spirit.
