Far Away
by Caryl Churchill
Translated by Maria Alexe
Renowned British playwright Caryl Churchill envisions a nightmarish world where the promise of violence broods and nothing is to be trusted. A young girl spending her first night in her aunt’s house witnesses torture. Next, the girl, now grown, is spending her first day working in a hat factory. There, she and a young man concoct elaborate hats that are to be worn for a horrific purpose: public executions. In the final scene, the boy and girl, now wed, are seeking refuge from a global conflict where even animals and elements of nature are on one side or another. A dark, sharp, allegorical tale about our future. Is it really so far away?

“You can look at the stars and think here we are in our little bit of space, and I’m on the side of the people who are putting things right, and your soul will expand right into the sky.”
