Following its sold out premiere earlier this year, Caryl Churchill’s critically-acclaimed play returns to the Royal Court for a limited run before going on tour.
“I’m walking down the street and there’s a door in the fence open and inside there are three women I’ve seen before.”
Three old friends and a neighbour. A summer of afternoons in the back yard. Tea and catastrophe.

What's On Stage
-
"Escaped Alone is magnificent. It has all the qualities that mark [Caryl Churchill] as the greatest living playwright- it’s funny, it’s complicated, and it’s sinister."
