Part of 2017 Winter/Spring Season

By Caryl Churchill
The Royal Court Theatre
Directed by James Macdonald

“Caryl Churchill follows Beckett and Pinter into the field of fertile minimalism…This is Churchill at her best, observing with wry compassion how people actually talk.”

—The Guardian (UK)

“Caryl Churchill’s magnificent new play unleashes an intricate, elliptical, acutely female view of the apocalypse.”

—The Observer (UK)

“'Caryl Churchill is a phenomenon. She remains not only prolific but also immensely inventive.”

—The Arts Desk

“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.”

—The Huffington Post

Three old friends and a neighbor. A summer of afternoons in the backyard. Lingering sunshine and inevitable darkness.

Caryl Churchill, one of Britain’s greatest living playwrights, returns to BAM for the first time in 15 years with this by-turns hilarious and unsettling daydream. Directed by Churchill’s frequent collaborator James Macdonald (Cloud Nine; Love and Information; John Gabriel Borkman, Spring 2011), with startling performances from Linda Bassett, Deborah Findlay, Kika Markham, and June Watson, Escaped Alone is doomsday in a teapot, a calmly revolutionary vision of looming collapse.
