[body] The newest work by the playwright Tony Kushner calls "the greatest living English playwright." "Far Away" is a howl of anguish at the increasing--and increasingly accepted--levels of inhumanity in a world seemingly perpetually involved in conflict, whether in Chechnya or Sierra Leone, Fiji or Zimbabwe.

Caryl Churchill is the author of some twenty plays, including "Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, The Skriker" and "Blue Heart," seen and admired all over the world.

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.
