A short play about the surreal nature of modern life. A play that is at once modern and postmodern, tragedy and farce, about all and about nothing. Caryl Churchill's This is a Chair was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre at the Duke of York’s, London, on 25 June 1997 as part of the London International Festival of Theatre.
