<p>'A light-on-its-feet, elliptical view of apocalypse… this is fantasy intricately wired into current politics. It is intimate and vast. Domestic and wild'</p>

Financial Times
<p>'A menacing, joyous, brilliant return... it's hard to imagine you'll come across a more brilliant play this year'</p>
Time Out
<p>'A magnificent show which demands repeated viewing to reveal its full richness'</p>
The Arts Desk
<p>'Packs an amazing amount into a modest frame… this is Churchill at her best'</p>
Guardian
<p>'Startling, chilling... Not a single word is wasted... Churchill's wit rises and shines'</p>
The Times

The Stage
“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.
Caryl Churchill's play Escaped Alone premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2016, in a production directed by James Macdonald. It was named Best Play at the 2017 Writers' Guild Awards.
'Caryl Churchill never does the same thing twice. Each play in her exquisite portfolio is an experiment in form. Her works are uniquely individual creations' The Times
