Caryl Churchill
Britain's most formally innovative living playwright, Churchill has consistently pushed theater's structural and political possibilities. Cloud Nine and Top Girls are landmarks of feminist drama; her later work grows ever more fragmented and haunting. She works collaboratively and her plays are inseparable from performance.
