NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp. and Other Shorts by Caryl Churchill. Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp. was first produced at the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs at the Royal Court Theatre in London in September 2019.

“Caryl Churchill has remade the landscape of contemporary drama—and earned herself a place among the greats.” —Guardian

“A thrilling reminder of why Caryl Churchill is our greatest living playwright… Spans everything from poetry to surrealism to tell four tales that feel both urgent to our current moment and like timeless, amber-cast fairytales… This whirlwind ride through Churchill’s relentless imagination is not to be missed.” —Evening Standard on Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp.

A girl made of glass. Gods and murders. A serial killer’s friends. And a secret in a bottle. This volume also contains the short plays Seven Jewish Children, Ding Dong the Wicked, Pigs and Dogs, War and Peace Gaza Piece, Tickets Now on Sale, and Beautiful Eyes.

“A dazzling quartet of plays about the murderous power of stories…a testament to a writer whose talent burns almost too bright to look at.” —Time Out London on Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp.

Caryl Churchill is considered one of the world’s greatest living playwrights. Her plays include Serious Money, Cloud 9, Top Girls, The Skriker, Far Away, A Number, Mad Forest, Love and Information, Here We Go, and Escaped Alone.
