“Make me happen”
Your partner’s died, could things have been different?
Caryl Churchill’s recent work includes Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp and Escaped Alone. Many of her plays which first premiered at the Royal Court are now considered modern classics including Top Girls, A Number and Far Away. James Macdonald directs.

Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out Read full review
