Description

She could have written it yesterday and just for America. Far Away is Caryl Churchill’s surreal portrait of a descent into a hyper-partisan future we hope will never come to pass. Joan is staying with her aunt, for reasons that remain mysterious. What’s happening outside in the dead of night? Later, we find her in a factory, creating elaborate hats for a competition that feels like excellent reality TV. But by the end of that section, we’re not surprised to glimpse her dark future where everything, alive and inanimate, is at war: Wasps, computer programmers, children under five…

It's 45 minutes of shocking theater, turned into an evocative film by the artistry of Joe Seamans and Mark Knobil.
