"Trois actes, trois époques différentes, trois situations de violence : des enfants battus par l'oncle de Joan, des chapeaux qu'elle fabrique à destination de prisonniers qui seront exécutés, pour finir dans un monde régi par la méfiance, la guerre et où même les paysages sont terrifiants."
"A brilliant and unsettling play from one of the UK's leading dramatists. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2000. 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. Far Away is a howl of anguish at the increasing? and increasingly accepted? levels of inhumanity in a world seemingly perpetually involved in conflict.

"This play addresses the issue of the increasingly accepted levels of inhumanity in a world seemingly perpetually involved in conflict, whether in Chechnya or Sierra Leone, Fiji or Zimbabwe."@en
