Premiere of All Four Plays Presented Together
Venue Martinson Hall
Runtime 90 minutes
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by James Macdonald
A girl made of glass. Gods and murders. A pack of ghosts. And a secret in a bottle. A kaleidoscope of stories, each short play is a testament to how playwright Caryl Churchill has “remade the landscape of contemporary drama—and earned herself a place among the greats” (The Guardian). James Macdonald directs these wildly inventive new works. The Public’s production marks the first time all four plays will be presented together.
This production ended on May 25, 2025.
