Abstract:
The British playwright Caryl Churchill examines the ways in which she can avoid writing a play that conforms to the traditional narrative structure which is considered to be “seductive,” in the sense that it offers, according to the feminist film theorist Teresa de Lauretis, a sadistic pleasure to the audience. The article concentrates mainly on the historical narrative and simultaneously examines the ways in which Churchill rewrites, or rather “re-stages,” history in her play Vinegar Tom.
