Chimerica is a 2013 play by the British dramatist Lucy Kirkwood directed by Lyndsey Turner. It draws its title from the term Chimerica, referring to the predominance of China and America in modern geopolitics. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre from 20 May 2013 to 6 July 2013, in a production co-produced with Headlong before transferring to the Harold Pinter Theatre.
Reception
The Almeida production was described in one review as 'fluent and seductive', with a 'filmic quality', with the multiple set changes well-handled.
Lucy Kirkwood won an Evening Standard Award for Best Play and the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play.
