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. Far Away is a howl of anguish at the increasing Â-
and increasingly accepted Â- levels of inhumanity in a world
seemingly perpetually involved in conflict.

was expected to produce something explosive, but... she has exceeded
the critics' highest expectations' The Observer
