The Striker

Now in its 10th anniversary year, Project A is Newcastle Theatre Royal’s professional actor training programme.

This year’s students present their final major production in the newly refurbished Studio Theatre.

The play follows the Skriker — an ancient, shapeshifting fairy — on its quest for love and revenge.

Pursuing teenage mothers Lily and Josie to London, it manipulates, seduces, and entraps them. Blending naturalism, horror, and magical realism, The Skriker by Caryl Churchill is a story of love, loss, and transformation.
