Our insatiable appetite for celebrity is the topic of this wild fantasy, in which Celine Dion speaks through an oracle to cashiers at Wal-Mart. It is the latest adventure of Caryl Churchill, “one of the most original and unpredictable of dramatists” (Daily Telegraph).
Olivier Choinière hails from Montreal, Quebec, where his plays have been produced. He is a 2007 recipient of London’s Royal Court Theatre’s International Residency.
Caryl Churchill is one of the most influential playwrights of her generation. Her other works include Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Far Away, A Number, Serious Money, and Drunk Enough to Say I Love You?.
