by Sabrina Wallace - Jun 17, 2026

Review: ESCAPED ALONE, The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 7, 2026


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.

Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Jan 29, 2026


The reason the play works at all is because of the sheer strength of its production values and the commitment of its cast.
