Escaped Alone at Signature Theatre

Escaped Alone

Signature Theatre
4200 Campbell Avenue Arlington

In a serene British garden, three old friends are joined by a neighbor to engage in amiable chitchat-with a side of apocalyptic horror. The women's talk of grandchildren and tv shows breezily intersperses with tales of terror in a quietly teetering world where all is not what it seems.

"...Cleary, Flye, Hedman and Leonard are in such gratifying synch that you forget at times how terrifyingly close to the precipice “Escaped Alone” means to dangle us. Then again, distraction is how we all get by, isn’t it?"

"...It would be folly to try to compare Escaped Alone to another Churchill play. Churchill has once again created something totally new, not only in subject, but also in form. As in many of Churchill’s works, the ambiguity embedded within the play and the sense of its surreal surrounding is deliberate. By describing the need for intimacy and human connection in a threatening universe, Escaped Alone affords a glimpse into human consciousness unlike any we get from other playwrights."

"...When is a tea party just a tea party and when is it a harbinger of the apocalypse? Without being flip, that's the sort-of question behind Caryl Churchill's cogitative puzzler, Escaped Alone. Alternating between a seemingly benign tea party and a dark poetic monologue on the human race's penchant for self-annihilation, Churchill seems to be almost literally offering parallel universes."

"...Hedman, Flye and Cleary are masterful in their layering of laissez-faire moments of fun with friends with fleeting glimpses at their underlying anxieties and barely contained despair. Each, in a brief, confidential aside to the audience, breathes life into the particular moment (a missed cancer diagnosis, a drunken argument) that stalks their everyday happiness. Twyford adeptly orchestrates these moments to create a tension that keeps the audience anxiously monitoring each character, scanning the actresses faces for signs of a break down."

"...Like the performances of the cast, Signature Theatre's production is beautifully done. The set, designed by Paige Hathaway, is a simple yet elegant British garden. The realism of the garden provides stability. A white curtain is used to divide Ms. Jarrett and the audience from the realism of the garden. It is again simple, but effective as it creates a separation between the worlds. The lighting, designed by Maria Shaplin, provides a complimentary ambiance to the play's mood as there are shifts in the sunlight from mid-afternoon sun to sunset."
