HONORED FOR OUTSTANDING OVERALL DESIGN AT THE 2018 MN THEATER AWARDS.

WHAT WE'RE DOING
​
​
For spring 2018, Fortune’s Fool Theatre will produce the regional premiere of Caryl Churchill's masterpiece The Skriker. This 1994 play, produced professionally only twice in North America, will feature an immersive staging, a cast of 17, and original music by Twin Cities composer Keith Hovis. It will be performed at the Crane Theatre in NE Minneapolis from April 7-22, 2018.
 
“Whatever you do don't open the do don't open the door.” Mankind is destroying the Earth and the Skriker, a malevolent shape-shifting fairy and death portent, is pissed as hell. In her search for revenge, she leaves the underworld to pursue two teenaged girls in London: Josie, who has murdered her young child, and Lily, who is pregnant. Speaking in riddles, changing her shape at every new encounter, alternately promising glorious wishes and threatening physical harm, she seeks ownership of their souls by any means necessary. A wild chorus of dancing, pounding, singing, wailing spirits, drawn from English folk tales, serves the Skriker in her pursuit of the girls.


April 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22.
Performances at 7:30 pm evenings and 2:00 pm, Sunday April 22.
