Following Anatomy of a suicide by Alice Birch, winner of five UBU awards, lacasadargilla turns to the work of Caryl Churchill, one of the most important and innovative contemporary British playwrights. Making its stage debut in Italy, Escaped Alone presents an agile and extremely acute view of a small and entirely human apocalypse, seen through the amused eyes of four vivacious women. 
Sally, Vi and Lena, long-standing friends, and Ms. Jarrett, new to the group, understand each other, even without finishing their sentences – they interrupt and correct each other, or let thoughts bubble up for the others to nurture. In this light-hearted chat between the four women with contagious verbal diarrhoea, the soliloquies of Ms. Jarrett – addressed directly to the audience in a blend of prophesy and anathema – represent a formidable dramatic device through which Escaped Alone disturbs our listless lives, breaks down preconceptions, little everyday moments of folly and habits, tying every detail of the lives of the protagonists to a threatening and extremely vivid picture of our present.
Thus, as the afternoon slides towards dusk and the four friends consume downfall of their lives as they sip tea, an unsettling refrain also announces the possible end of humanity.
