Escape is a play in nine episodes by the British writer John Galsworthy. The world premiere was on August 12, 1926[1] at the Ambassadors Theatre in London's West End, produced by Leon M. Lion. The play ran until March of the following year, when it went on tour of England with Gerald Ames in the lead role.[2]
Subsequently, the play transferred to Broadway where it was produced and staged by Winthrop Ames[3] (no relation of Gerald Ames). The American production ran for 173 performances from 26 October 1927 to March 1928 at the Booth Theatre, New York City.[4] It was included in Burns Mantle's The Best Plays of 1927–1928.
The play was made into a film in 1930.[5]
