The Skriker is a 1994 play by Caryl Churchill, telling the story of an ‘ancient fairy’ who leaves her underworld lair in search of human contact and greater human understanding. Caryl Churchill (born 3 September 1938) is an English Dramatist known for her use of non- naturalistic techniques and Feminist Morphing into a plethora of objects and people, she pursues Lily and Josie, two mothers she befriends, manipulates, seduces and entraps. Whilst speaking English in her 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.
