WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
As Caryl Churchill's Far Away begins, a young girl is in an idyllic country setting. The girl cannot sleep and she questions her aunt about the mysterious goings-on out in the shed. From this seemingly innocent beginning, the audience is led to a world where the line has disappeared between the normal and the fantastic, beauty and horror, plain talk and poetry. Stephen Daldry directs a cast that includes Kathleen Chalfant.
Running Time: 50 minutes with no intermission.
