Hatch Theatre Company and The Everyman in association with Once Off Productions are delighted to present the Irish premiere of Caryl Churchill’s 2016 revolutionary play, Escaped Alone, as part of Cork Midsummer Festival.
A sunny afternoon. Sally, Vi and Lena sit in a yard drinking tea, on the other side of the fence stands Mrs Jarrett.
“Don’t look now but there’s someone watching us”
When Mrs Jarrett steps off the street and into Sally’s yard, her presence brings the outside world in and horrific events of the past, unspoken, come to the fore.
Intimate and vast, domestic and wild, Churchill’s vision presents a world hurtling towards its own destruction. Escaped Alone viciously satirises contemporary capitalist culture while it celebrates the (often unheard) voices of aging women.
Starring Sorcha Cusack, Anna Healy, Ruth McCabe and Deirdre Monaghan. Don’t miss this electric new production directed by Annabelle Comyn for Hatch Theatre Company.
