PLEASE JOIN SERIOUS PLAY THEATRE ENSEMBLE this October, as our community prepares to vote in the crucial upcoming November Midterm Elections! STAGED READINGwith Christine Adaire, Mary Beth Brooker, Judith Fine, and Muriel JohnsonDirected by Sheryl StoodleyTechnical Support Robin W. Doty ESCAPED ALONE&nbsp;by Caryl Churchill&nbsp;A play that meets the present moment. ESCAPED ALONE, by acclaimed English playwright, Caryl Churchill, was published in 2016 around the time of Donald Trump&rsquo;s first election.&nbsp;It contrasts the mundane, witty, fragmented chatter of older women in a backyard, with apocalyptic visions delivered by the younger of them. I discovered this piece in 2018, in the New Scripts Library in the Traverse Theatre at the EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL, Scotland, while on tour with Serious Play&rsquo;s production of THE RED GUITAR. I fell in love with Churchill&rsquo;s imaginative use of language, the experimental construct of the play and the strong female perspective. &nbsp;But at the time, I felt it was far too harsh a message to be presented by Serious Play. Now, in 2026, I feel differently. It is both darkly comedic and chillingly profound.
