The skriker

---

Written by Caryl Churchill

 Caryl Churchill’s 1994 play The Skriker tells the story of an ancient faerie who has spent the history of humanity fueled by his power over women. He controls them, dominates them, feeds on them. Now, in this modern world of information and social progress, the titular Skriker has never been weaker - but he's also never been more driven to reclaim his power. The Skriker smashes together surrealism with a morality play, creating a magical and terrifying combination that questions the confines through which we judge good and evil. Four Letter Word's production will combine the use of clowning, mask work, and puppetry to tell this timeless and important story.
