The story of an ancient fairy who, during the course of the play, transforms into a plethora of objects and people as it pursues Lily and Josie, two teenage mothers whom it befriends, manipulates, seduces and entraps. Whilst speaking English in its human incarnations, the Skriker’s own language consists of broken and fragmented word play. Blending naturalism, horror and magical realism, it is a story of love, loss and revenge.
The Skriker
"... bears roughly the same relationship to urban living that 'Psycho' does to taking a shower, turning the familiar into a hall of terrors." —New York TimesJan 27 - Feb 12, 2012Written by Caryl ChurchillDirected by Ed Trujillo
