This Is Not A Chair (It Is A Gem),
By
This review is from: This is a Chair (Paperback)
wow! caryl churchill has done it again. she never ceases to amaze, amuse and intrigue. i especially like her last few works (hotel, blue hearts and of course, this is a chair).her works are getting more experimental and minimal (hotel, this is a chair), and at the same time, never losing their complexity and intellectual (as well as entertainment) values. i suspect most of the audience who watch this play will not be able to comprehend what's going on if they try to connect the title of each scene with the scene itself. the more you try to connect, the more they do not make sense. that's the whole point. for example, the first scene is entitled 'the war in bosnia', but the scene has absolutely nothing to do with the war. that's why the play is so powerful. the more the titles are 'alienated' from the scenes, the more they make you think about the issues (of bosnia, genetic engineering, hong kong, pornography and censorship, etc). my only complain is the price. us$9.95 for a 32-pager is not cheap, but then again, i just had to have the book.
