Far Away defies easy description. In a handful of scenes, playwright Caryl Churchill creates a world where war, with its atrocity and absurdity, is tightly woven into the fabric of everyday life. A typical theatergoer's response to the play is "What the hell did I just see?" But then it sinks in: the world of Far Away, while clearly not our own, is a little too close for comfort. |
