What is your definition of great theatre? Well, I sort of thought I had a handle on mine until I saw Caryl Churchill's latest play, which the gentleman sitting beside me would argue is not.
None of the things I ordinarily look for in a new play were there -- no strong central characters whose complexity might draw me in, no large deep moral quandaries to ponder, no artful character development in the way the most skilled playwrights can do (without us noticing). And yet, somehow, weeks after having seen it, I still can't seem to get it out of my head.
