Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2000.</p><br /><br /><p>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. <em>Far Away</em> is a howl of anguish at the increasing – and increasingly accepted – levels of inhumanity in a world seemingly perpetually involved in conflict.</p><br /><br /><p>'You know you are in the hands of a master' <em>The Sunday Times</em></p><br /><br /><p>'Churchill was expected to produce something explosive, but... she has exceeded the critics' highest expectations' <em>The Observer</em></p>
