WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
On a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, forgotten by the world, and forgotten by time, there exists a community with a secret buried deep in its past. The outside world arrives, armed with prospects for the
island's future, and disturbs the intricate balance of the lives of its inhabitants. Confronted by a culture that is both enticing and threatening, the islanders realize that revealing their long-held secret may be the only way
to reclaim their ancestral home. Manhattan Theatre Club presents the American premiere of Further Than the Furthest Thing by Zinnie Harris, directed by Neil Pepe.

They were taken to Southampton, where they didn't do as poorly as did Olivier in London, but neither did they do well enough to decide to stay on after their yearlong layover.
