The Skriker

Boston University School of Theatre presents "The Skriker" directed by Carla Mirabal Rodríguez, in CFA's Studio ONE • "The Skriker" by Caryl Churchill is a dark and surreal play that blends elements of folklore, mythology, and contemporary urban life. The story follows an ancient and malevolent fairy creature known as the Skriker, who takes on various guises as she haunts two young women named Lily and Josie. The Skriker's motives are mysterious and sinister as she manipulates and torments the women, weaving a web of deception and chaos around them. Set in a modern, dystopian world, the play explores themes of ecological collapse, psychological trauma, and the erosion of human connection in an increasingly fragmented society. Through its poetic language and eerie atmosphere, "The Skriker" immerses the audience in a haunting and hallucinatory experience that challenges conventional notions of reality and identity.

All tickets free, general admission at the door.
