When Caryl Churchill tells a fairy tale, it's not likely to conclude with happily ever after. In The Skriker, the author of Cloud 9, Top Girls and Mad Forest takes a surreal folklore character and brings it into the present to deliver a disturbing message about a world out of balance. Drawing from British folklore, Churchill drops the Skriker, an ageless shapeshifter, into contemporary London. There she haunts two young women, one who is pregnant and one who is suspected of killing her child. While neither innocence nor shrewdness is effective against the ubiquitous Skriker, as she appears in forms ranging from a petulant child to a barfly, the line between victim and predator is cloudy. Even language mutates in this startling phantasmagoria about death and damage. Rated PG 13 For tickets and more information, call the Performing Arts Box Office at (970) 351-2200Date and Time
