Annotation: Caryl Churchill is "a dramatist who must surely be rated among the half-dozen best now writing."-New Statesman

Softcops: "Pure fresh air. One wishes the master (Foucault) and his acolytes had her gift for the drama of ideas."-Times Literary Supplement

Top Girls: "Builds to a superb emotion-draining climax that sent me out of the theatre convinced that this is the best British play ever from a woman dramatist."-Guardian

Fen: "A striking, panoramic portrait of superstitious, religion-soaked, and even doom-laden countryside ... a powerful, gritty, ultimately political piece."-Guardian

Serious Money: "The real thing, theatre of language, movement, energy, purpose, and wit."-Observer

Publisher Description:

Softcops renders the philosophy of Foucault as a music-hall turn and Victorian freakshow theatre and history combine to give such intelligent fun (TLS); Top Girls brings five great and less-than-great women from history together for a dinner party and has a combination of directness and complexity which keeps you both emotionally and intellectually alert (Sunday Times); Fen scrutinises the lives of the low-paid women potato pickers of the fens (in Eastern England) and the playwright pins down her poetic subject matter in dialogue of impressive vigour and economy (Financial Times) while Serious Money is a satirical study of the effects of the Big Bang - Pure genius...the first play about the city to capture the authentic atmosphere of the place. (Daily Telegraph)
