Synopsis

A brilliant and unsettling play from one of the UK's leading dramatists.

Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2000.

At the opening of the play, a young girl is questioning her aunt about having seen her uncle hitting people with an iron bar; by the end, several years later, the whole world is at war - including birds and animals.

<i>Far Away</i> is a howl of anguish at the increasing – and increasingly accepted – levels of inhumanity in a world seemingly perpetually involved in conflict.

'Churchill was expected to produce something explosive, but... she has exceeded the critics' highest expectations' <i>The Observer</i>
