By Caryl Churchill

This play tells 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. It explores the themes of post-natal psychosis and possession. It combines surrealism, folklore, mythology, magical realism, and modern prose.
