Caryl Churchill meets ‘il dolce far niente’ in this reimagined production of her 2016 play Escaped Alone. Italian companies lacasadargilla and Piccolo Teatro present a timid adaptation written by Monica Capuani and directed by Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli and Alessandro Ferroni. It’s a pity that the quintessentially bleak English approach of Churchill’s four ageing women as they spend their summer between tea and gossip fails to translate. Caught between the shackling boredom of retirement and a desire to maintain their identities, they reminisce and dig up the past, unearthing a few uncomfortable truths. In all this, Mrs. Jarrett slips into apocalyptic speeches that detail environmental disaster and societal collapse.

Like any such list, the results are fascinating and immediately provide a foundation for debate, disagreement and discussion, but this was no list cobbled together from the opinions of the magazine’s staff, as is often the case with such efforts, but a genuine survey.

In a piece defined by moments that dissolve as quickly as they form, the dedication lends the evening a quiet gravity, where the act of gathering in the Tornabene becomes its own gesture of remembrance. In many ways, the Tornabene itself becomes a collaborator. The theatre's quirky yet flexible geometry resists the predictability of a conventional stage picture, requiring actors to carve presence from angles, tiers, and distances that can shift the emotional logic of a moment.
