Shaking the Tree Presents Caryl Churchill's Dark Quartet | Portland News

Shaking the Tree Theater is staging Caryl Churchill’s haunting quartet Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp.—four surreal, razor-sharp plays that dissect violence, complicity, and the uncanny. From a glass-woman unraveling to cousins wrestling a bottled demon, a monologue of ancient gods’ rage, and friends confronting a serial killer among them, each piece challenges perception and moral boundaries. Especially timely is Bluebeard’s Friends, which mirrors real-world indifference to monstrous behavior. Directed with care for seamless transitions, this boundary-pushing production runs Oct 10–Nov 7 at 823 SE Grant. $39 tickets; 16+ recommended. Find showtimes and tickets at shaking-the-tree.com.
