Escaped Alone

“Don’t look now but there’s someone watching us.”

When Mrs. Jarrett steps off the street and into the yard where Sally, Vi and Lena are sitting drinking tea, her presence brings horrific and unspoken events of the past to the fore.

Escaped Alone viciously satirises contemporary capitalist culture while it celebrates the (often unheard) voices of aging women.

Intimate and vast, domestic and wild, Caryl Churchill’s vision presents a world hurtling towards its own destruction. In a career spanning over six decades, playwright Churchill continues to reinvent the genre with every new creation.
