The Skriker (2015 edition)

…long before that, long before England was an idea, a country of snow and wolves where trees sang and birds talked and people knew we mattered.
In a broken world two sisters meet an extraordinary creature. The Skriker is a shapeshifter. She can be an old woman, a child, a death portent. She is a faerie come from the Underworld to pursue and entrap them, through time and space, through this world and her own.
The Skriker is Caryl Churchill´s extraordinary collision of ancient fairy story and portrait of a fractured England.
