“Far Away” is a play written by British playwright Caryl Churchill. It premiered in 2000.
The play is set in a dystopian world where even the most mundane objects and occurrences are infused with violence and political significance. It follows the journey of a young girl named Joan as she navigates through a world torn apart by an unexplained conflict. Themes of fear, paranoia, and the consequences of blind obedience to authority pervade the narrative. The play is about surreal and fragmented storytelling style, as well as its exploration of the horrors of war and the erosion of trust in society.
