Geraldine Cousin (back in 1989 when this book was first published) was a Lecturer in Theatre Studies at the University of Warwick.
Reviews of the original publication: ‘’a playwright as richly various as Caryl Churchill sets a hard task for a critic with a brief to summarize the achievement in not much over 100 pages. Geraldine Cousin rises admirably to the challenge. She provides A pithy, informative account of the main lines of development and interest while managing to register sensitive, personal reactions to individual scenes. She conveys a clear sense of the haunting quality often to be felt in Churchill's tough, earthy, part Brechtian theatre.’’ Theatre Research International, Volume 16
