Debut of «Escaped Alone» at the Teatro Carignano
Date of the event:
On 10 November 2026, at 7.30pm, the show «Escaped Alone» by Caryl Churchill opens at the Teatro Carignano in Turin, part of the Teatro Stabile di Torino's subscription season. The show runs until Sunday 15 November 2026. The direction is by Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli and Alessandro Ferroni, with translation by Monica Capuani [1].
The show
The production is by the company lacasadargilla, already behind «Anatomia di un suicidio», winner of five Ubu Awards. With «Escaped Alone», the company brings to Italy for the first time a text by British playwright Caryl Churchill, written in 2016 [1].
On stage are Caterina Carpio, Tania Garribba, Arianna Gaudio and Alice Palazzi, in the roles of Sally, Vi, Lena and Mrs Jarrett. The play portrays a summer afternoon in which four women, over tea and chat, let stories of personal and collective catastrophe surface, in a dialogue made of interruptions and shifting moods [1].
The show is produced by the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Teatro d'Europa, and the Teatro di Roma, Teatro Nazionale [1].
The directors' statements
Alessandro Ferroni explained that Caryl Churchill's text, written with an eye on London's housing bubble and the drift of the Western world, still feels relevant today, and described the work as a reflection on today's «capitalist depravity». Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli noted that, in place of the «scandal of old age», the show offers the «scandal of middle age» [1].
