"It certainly loosened my grasp on reality." –Marissa Oberlander,
Chicago Reader "The Skriker is certainly the most unusual play I've seen in recent memory. The text, itself, is the pinnacle of what it means to be out-of-the-box... the proud weirdness, discombobulation, paranoia, transformation, and sinister magic of this play come together to build something unquestionably singular and blatantly eclectic." - Johnny Oleksinski,
Podunk critic "This portrait of a London haunted by unhappy gremlins bears roughly the same relationship to urban living that
Psycho does to taking a shower, turning the familiar into a hall of terrors. Afterward, you'll be even more intent than usual on avoiding the eyes of people on the streets, wondering what demons lurk inside. You'll even think twice before sitting on your sofa. Be afraid; be very afraid. (Or to borrow from the play's phrase-fracturing title character, an ailing, shape-shifting fairy, "Whatever you do don't open the do don't open the door.") Ms. Churchill, the author of "Fen" and "Top Girls," has delivered her most unsettling indictment yet of an incurably diseased world. While it is also her most densely cerebral, difficult work, its enveloping chill isn't just intellectual." - Ben Brantley,
