Caryl Churchill’s The Skriker is often described as her ‘impossible play’, due to the magical nature of the show, the shattered language with which the narrator speaks, and the sheer scope of the faerie underworld that it weaves in and out of. This unique theatrical experience will invite the audience into the The Storefront Theatre, transformed into a portal to the faeries’ home by our critically acclaimed design team: Makeup wizard Angela McQueen (Classical Theatre Project, ROTC, Brouhaha), Kendra Terpenning (wardrobe After Miss Julie), Set design by Holly Lloyd ( Stratford Festival, ROTC, Brouhaha) and lighting by Indie veteran Melissa Joakim (Cockfight, Punch Up, After Miss Julie). incorporating physical theatre, mask, dance and a world premiere score composed by Andy Trithardt, The Skriker provides a completely immersive experience in this dark and twisted world.
