Caryl Churchill Caryl Churchill (born September 3, 1938) is an English writer of stage plays known for her use of non-realistic techniques and feminist themes. She is acknowledged as a major playwright in the English language and a leading woman writer. She is classed as a Post-modern playwright due to her themes and techniques such as use of multi-role and fragmented narrative. The difference between Churchill and a Modernist, Bertolt Brecht for example, is that although Churchill uses a lot of similar techniques, Modernists set out to create a new art form beyond drama, whereas Churchill is using previous techniques to enhance drama.
Churchill was born in London, England. During WW2 her family emigrated to Montreal, Canada, where she attended Trafalgar School for Girls. She returned to England to attend university, and graduated from Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford in 1960 with a degree in English Literature. She also began her career there, writing three plays for performance by student drama groups: Downstairs, You've No Need to be Frightened and Having a Wonderful Time.
In 1961 she married David Harter, a lawyer also from Oxford, and began raising three sons. She also began to write short radio plays for the BBC including The Ants (1962), Not, Not, Not, Not Enough Oxygen (1971), and Schreber's Nervous Illness (1972).
