Set in a distant time and place that feels eerily close to our own, Far Away depicts a nightmarish world; where war seems ever-present and humans, insects – even the weather – form strange alliances. Caryl Churchill’s mesmerizing play follows Joan from naive girlhood to young adulthood, raising urgent moral questions about our role in a just (or unjust) society. An ingenious and theatrical work from one of the world’s most provocative playwrights.
