Caryl Churchill News

The University of Arizona School of Theatre, Film & Television will present Love and Information as the next production in its 2025–26 Performance Season.

Some art offends not out of malice, but out of necessity. It erodes our defenses and upsets the hierarchies we've internalized for generations. Cloud 9 thrives in that awkward space where laughter and shock trade places. Caryl Churchill's comedy, though seemingly gratuitous, diagnoses our assumptions about who truly holds power.

The world premiere production of Girl, Interrupted has been added to The Public’s 2025-2026 season. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Martyna Majok brings Girl, Interrupted to the stage for its world premiere.

As the fight for women to have equal rights and opportunities has evolved, so has the presence of plays telling these stories. When I wrote my book, Women Writing Musicals: The Legacy that the History Books Left Out, the first-ever book about female musical theatre writers, I researched many musicals that are in this genre as well.

This fall, Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot is once again drawing audiences to Broadway, with its enigmatic blend of humor, hopelessness, and haunting stillness. It’s a timely reminder of how profoundly absurdist theatre reshaped the modern stage—inviting audiences to laugh at the meaningless, search for significance in repetition, and confront the unsettling question at the heart of human existence: Why are we here at all?

Stairwell Theater has announced its next production: FAR AWAY by Caryl Churchill. This immersive staging in a new Bushwick performance space is directed by Sam Gibbs.

And Then We Were No More, a new play written by Tim Blake Nelson (The Public's Socrates, MCC Theater's The Grey Zone), currently playing at La MaMa (66 E. 4th Street), opens this Sunday, September 28. Check out new production photos below.

We are delighted to report that real fringe theatre is back. The invigorating, daring, challenging, form-subverting kind of venture that makes the stage its playground. We haven’t encountered anything like this since before Covid. There isn’t a lot of theatre with specifically scientific research as its core, either. Commercially, The Effect (Lucy Prebble’s play about a clinical trial) had a revival in 2023 with Jamie Lloyd at the helm and Caryl Churchill’s evergreen reflection on human-cloning, A Number, was on just the year before (curiously, both starred Paapa Essiedu). Looking away from the West End, it’s even harder to find something that sits firmly at the junction with science. Three Billion Letters swoops in at the rescue and begs you to think. Created by TAKDAJA, the piece is a heady mix of data and experimentalism. Does our DNA control more than our eye colour and predisposition to illness? How do we determine our identity? There’s so much gene-ius in it. 

And Then We Were No More, a new play written by Tim Blake Nelson, will play La MaMa in September. Learn more about the production and see how to purchase tickets here!
