At the age of 18 she returned to Britain to study at Oxford, where her first two stage plays were produced. In the 1960’s she wrote a number of plays for radio, including The Ants (1962), Lovesick (1966) and Identical Twins (1968). Her association with the Royal Court Theatre began in the early 1970s with Owners (1972), a satire on capitalism. This was followed by such plays as Light Shining in Buckinghamshire (1976), Cloud Nine (1979), Fen (1983), Top Girls (1982), Softcops (1984) and Serious Money (1987), an award-winning satirical view of the London Stock Exchange after the "Big Bang" of 1986. Churchill has also written for television, notably Turkish Delight (1973), The Legion Hall Bombing (1978), and Crimes (1981). Her plays of the 1990s include Mad Forest (1990), set in Romania, Lives of the Great Poisoners (1991), and The Skriker (1994), a supernatural tale that incorporated mime, dance, and the music of composer Judith Weir If you have any additional information or corrections regarding any of the production entries please contact us at archives@lortel.org 322 Eighth Avenue, 21st Floor · New York, NY 10001 · Tel (212) 924-2817 · Fax (212) 989-0036 ©2002 Lucille Lortel Foundation.
