About This Book
A series of surreal sketches, each prefaced by a doom-laden tabloid style headline, This Is A Chair is at once modern and postmodern, tragedy and farce, about all and about nothing.
'Churchill, who constantly reinvents dramatic form, has come up with something compelling and strange: an intimate revue about the increasing surreality of modern life' - Guardian
'creates a haunting impression of urban alienation, self-obsession and pre-millennial tension' - Daily Telegraph
