About the play
What if the cries you heard in the night as a child were real? If you were young Joan they would be. This girl wakes one night into such a world, where the cries from her uncle?s cellar are not mere imagination, but blood-chilling reality. In a world where alliances shift and deception is treacherous, love may be the only salvation from the fate of suffering our own worst fears. The time is long ago. The place is Far Away. Or is it?

From the press
“In its three brief scenes, Far Away recalls Pinter?s Party Time, as well as Orwell?s 1984 and Animal Farm. Churchill has never written anything more chilling than the first scene in which a poised young girl, Joan, comes down from her bedroom dragging her soft toy behind her.” – Time Out London
“There’s nothing like this play around today.” – The London Sunday Times
