Western Gold Theatre presents playwright Caryl Churchill’s acclaimed new work, a fantasy intricately wired to current politics that offers an actually female view of the apocalypse. At once intimate and vast, domestic and wild, the play finds four women chatting in a garden and unleashing their secret selves in extraordinary monologues. The effect is like looking at a sexually reversed photo of world leaders.
