Ghost Light Theatricals announced today that their 25th production will be The Skriker by Caryl Churchill.
The Striker, a tale of dark magic, manipulation and fear, will show throughout the month of March with a final showing on the 27th.

The play, directed by Artistic Director and Ghost Light co-founder Beth Raas-Bergquist, tells the story of The Skriker, a dark, shape-shifting fairy drawn to desperation. After attaching herself to two teenage girls, the Skriker wreaks havoc with their lives, haphazardly granting minor wishes. Using dark magic, she makes flowers rain from the sky and turn words into frogs, and ultimately drags both girls into a rotting underworld filled with a macabre ensemble of broken fairies. Helpless against her power, the girls become increasingly desperate to save themselves and each other.

In one of her most astonishing works, Caryl Churchill seamlessly weaves themes of environmentalism and feminism into a world bursting with creatures from British folklore that are known for drowning and eating children.

The Skriker premieres on Friday, March 11. Tickets are $15 for general public and $12 for students and seniors. They are available at the door or at BrownPaperTickets.com.

Ghost Light Theatricals performs at The Ballard Underground at 2220 N.W Market St.
