A first play by Caryl Churchill. This two-act, 14-scene play was first presented in 1972 at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in London. Owners is a morbid, bitter, absurdist comedy about property, possessiveness, capitalism, money, patriarchy, obsession with power, painful economic transition... Flats/houses/partners/babies get swapped/traded/bought/sold.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The play is set in an up and coming area of London. Marion is a ruthless property developer who became successful after she was released from a psychiatric hospital. Her husband Clegg is a butcher and owns a family butcher shop which has just failed. Clegg hates his wife because she's so independent and prosperous — more prosperous than him. Also she doesn’t care about his loss of money, his loss of income or his wounded pride. How does he deal? He tries to think of ways to kill her. Marion’s wimpish assistant Worsely keeps trying to off himself. Marion wants to acquire a building where pregnant Lisa, her children and her extremely apathetic, almost catatonic husband Alec live. Marion strives to get the man she wants just as eagerly as she buys up her precious property. | |

Spoiled Sweet: Mrs Arlington is described as a very young woman, about twenty, who is well dressed, well bred, with the good nature of someone who has never met difficulties or been disliked. Deconstructed because she is as nice as possible, but Lisa, who is forced to lodge in their luxurious house, still thinks Mrs Arlington is insufferable and intolerable. Lisa is jealous of her beauty, her carelessness, and how easy her life is compared to her own family's struggles. | |
