	Who is Caryl Churchill?
		Caryl Churchill, author of "Top Girls", was born in 1938 and spent most of her childhood years in London and Montreal.
		In 1975 Churchill became the first woman to hold the position of resident dramatist, where she was able to constantly test the limits and vitality of traditional and orthodox theatre.
		With her continuous impulse toward theatrical experimentation, Churchill was able to incorporate expression of feminist insights into contemporary views, all the while encouraging audiences to actively criticize institutions and ideologies that had been previously taken for granted, both in theater and society itself (61).

	The Language of Caryl Churchill: the Rhythms of Feminist Theory, Acting Theory, and Gender Politics
		The kinds of questions which Churchill asks through her theatre reflect her feminist and socialist viewpoints, but allied to her interrogative, political mode of writing is her experimental approach to dramatic and theatrical form.
		Churchill joins these writers who are "of the theatre": playwrights unique in their understanding of the actor/director process; the giving of life, of movement and emotion - not just words - to characters.
		Moreover, Churchill's postmodern insertion of the songs echoes Cixous' belief that "feminine writing is not merely a new style of writing; it is the very possibility of change, the space that can serve as a springboard for subversive thought, the precursory movement of a transformation of social and cultural standards" (Tong 200).

	Caryl Churchill (1938 - )
		This genre forced Churchill to develop a certain economy of style which would serve her well in her later work for the stage, but it also freed her from the limitations of the stage, allowing, for example, the freedom to write very short scenes or make great leaps in time and space.
		In 1974, Churchill began her transition to the stage, serving as resident dramatist at the Royal Court Theatre from 1974-75.
		As Churchill's remarkable career continues to develop, her plays seem to be growing more and more sparse and less and less inhibited by realism.

	Caryl Churchill
		Playwright Caryl Churchill was born on 3 September 1938 in London and grew up in the Lake District and in Montreal.
		Churchill is often thought of as a playwright who writes on historical themes, but among her stage plays this is only really the case for a series of pieces produced between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s.
		Churchill's turn to music and dance theatre has, naturally, involved collaboration with choreographers and composers, so that her work is becoming more and more a collective enterprise.

	village voice > theater > Far Away by Caryl Churchill; Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen by Alisa Solomon
		There's something prescient about Caryl Churchill's chilling new work, Far Away, but not in the topical sense that some of the hype around the play is trying to pump.
		A hundred years later, Western theater's greatest political imaginations, Churchill and Kushner, see how the world is hurtling toward disaster while individuals understandably remain preoccupied with their own material and psychic survival.
		But Joan's moral choices are limited to whether she should risk her livelihood by challenging the corruption of the hat-shop bosses; she has completely internalized the values that demand making the hats at all.

	Essays on Caryl Churchill: Contemporary Representations by Marlene Moser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This collection of essays affords new perspectives on Churchill's œuvre, rising to the level of engagement of her plays while offering various avenues of interpretation for her work and for the study of modern drama.

		It has educational values and an extremely serious aspect to it, but at the same time can be intriguigly entertaining and addictive, so much so that one may feel that they are emotionally dragged into one of the many, sometimes tense, sometimes funny, sometimes shocking conversations between the brilliantly constucted characters.
		However, there is an underlying seriousness to the play which Churchill manages to mix well with the half hearted humour evident throughout the play.
		Her idea of bringing different flavours of women, from past and present, and placing them around a table as she does in act one, is ambitious to say the least.

		Despite this, there are useful elements here - both for students studying the performance of Churchill’s plays (especially Cloud 9) and for those interested in the interrelation of elements in performance at a basic level.
		The critique of Churchill's work closely associates the themes of the play with the colourful characters, rather than viewing the identity as itself as a process of cultural negotiation.
		The Mainz bibliographies are a valuable source of material for a diverse range of playwrights, although they are unannotated and some sources may be difficult to locate.
