Line by line it's hard to imagine you'll come across a more brilliant play this year . . . and what makesEscaped Alonea great play is that it is strangely euphoric: spiked with terrible, apocalyptic foreboding, yes, but Churchill's funniest sinceSerious Money, and with an incredible gift for spinning light out of the dark. —Time Out LondononEscaped Alone

Through the musings of four older women idly chatting in an English back garden, the fate of the world is outlined in an unsettling revelation of mankind's own self-destruction.
