The above are the names of four very short plays written by Caryl Churchill that are woven together with a bit of acrobatic interludes to create a wonderful evening in the theatre.  Actually, the first three:  Glass.  Kill.  and What If If Only are very short and play out as the first act and Imp. stands alone as the second act.  They all are tied together very loosely by themes of faith and our need for myth – – juxtaposed against the violence we live with.  And, of course what we get with any Caryl Churchill play is a seductive, playful, dangerous use of language that you just don’t find that often in the theatre.
