Revered playwright Caryl Churchill’s revolutionary play, Escaped Alone, viciously satirises contemporary capitalist culture while it celebrates the (often unheard) voices of aging women in this electric new production directed by Annabelle Comyn for Hatch Theatre Company. Intimate and vast, domestic and wild, Churchill’s vision presents a world hurtling towards its own destruction.

Escaped Alone explores the solace of community within which the older women’s individual feelings of ageing, and their relation to the world around them. It highlights the resilience, diplomacy and resolve needed to survive 70 years as a woman in a moribund and rapacious culture.
