dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines whether or not Caryl Churchill still stays true to a claim she made early in her career namely: “Playwrights don’t give answers, they ask questions” (qtd. in Aston 10) when looking at her latest play, Love and Information. The play’s mainly criticizes the information society and the negative aspects of this society which are, information overload, poverty of attention, the decreasing political awareness, the need for information, and the isolation, while it tries to influence the audience to ask critical questions about society. Churchill stimulates the audience to think critically about these aspects in society but does not force the audience to agree with her she simply poses questions upon the audience. The message of the play is that a balance between love and information is the ideal and this is also embedded in the play’s title as the title exemplifies that love and information c! an both g o together.en_US
