Caryl Churchill's magnificent new play unleashes an intricate, elliptical, acutely female view of the apocalypse.
The Observer
Following its 2016 premiere, Caryl Churchill's garden-set apocalyptic drama returns for a short engagement at the Royal Court Theatre before embarking on a UK tour. In true Churchill fashion, the playwright takes a stab at corruption, the decimation of society and the powerful. Four elderly women take tea in a sunshine-filled garden - but their conversations are far from being about late buses and pensions. At first bemoaning the state of today's Britain, things take a darker turn when conversation takes on a decidedly apocalyptic edge.
The foibles of modernity such as social media, internet kittens start off the conversations between the four women, with each harbouring their own histories (one a husband-killer, another fearful of cats) but talk from the newest member of the group becomes aggressively dark and gloomy, with pollution and war soon dominating the state of things. As the sky darkens overhead, the witty banter and laughter soon take on a jarring contrast - is the apocalypse coming? And why are there FOUR women in the garden...cue the horses.
