TCG Books Publishes LOVE AND INFORMATION by Caryl Churchill

Theatre Communications Group (TCG) has announced the publication of Love and Information by Caryl Churchill, the Obie Award-winning author of Cloud 9 and Top Girls. Declared the "greatest living English playwright" by Tony Kushner, Caryl Churchill premiered her newest play at London's Royal Court Theatre in fall 2012. Love and Information will receive its U.S. premiere at New York Theatre Workshop in the 2013-2014 season.

A theatrical kaleidoscope exploring the rapidly-changing world we live in, Love and Information depicts a world where non-stop streams of information threaten the very essence of our humanity, culminating in what the Guardian heralds as the "play that everyone should see." Churchill reaffirms her continued ability to reinvent herself as a playwright and keep her finger on the pulse of contemporary life, as she illuminates society's fascination with high-speed information using her signature wit, candor, nimbleness of language and more than one hundred characters just trying to make sense of what they know.

Caryl Churchill is one of the most influential playwrights of our time. She is the author of more than twenty plays, including Seven Jewish Children, Drunk Enough to Say I Love You, Top Girls, This is a Chair, Far Away, A Number, Cloud 9 and Serious Money.

For over 50 years, Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for the American theatre, has existed to strengthen, nurture and promote the professional not-for-profit American theatre. TCG's constituency has grown from a handful of groundbreaking theatres to nearly 700 member theatres and affiliate organizations and more than 12,000 individuals nationwide. TCG offers its members networking and knowledge-building opportunities through conferences, events, research and communications; awards grants, approximately $2 million per year, to theatre companies and individual artists; advocates on the federal level; and serves as the U.S. Center of the InterNational Theatre Institute, connecting its constituents to the global theatre community. TCG is North America's largest independent trade publisher of dramatic literature, with 12 Pulitzer Prizes for Best Play on the TCG booklist. It also publishes the award-winning AMERICAN THEATRE magazine and ARTSEARCH?, the essential source for a career in the arts. In all of its endeavors, TCG seeks to increase the organizational efficiency of its member theatres, cultivate and celebrate the artistic talent and achievements of the field and promote a larger public understanding of, and appreciation for, the theatre. www.tcg.org
