The Plays of Caryl Churchill Theatre of Empowerment [Hardcover]

This study focuses on themes and techniques of empowerment in the full range of produced plays by Caryl Churchill from 1960 to the present. The playwright is well known for combining theatrical inventiveness with uncompromising social critique.
