University Theater (Long Beach, CA)
If Kafka, Orwell and Dr. Seuss had collaborated on creating an alternate universe, the product would be no more imaginative or menacing than the dystopia explored in Caryl Churchill’s Far Away. Like all great dystopias, the power of Far Away is that this whimsically nightmarish universe is — despite its bizarre and violent eccentricities — not very “far away” from our own. Follow the story of Joan as she comes of age during all-consuming war waged on the grandest of scales. A sinister farm house, a beautiful parade and a nation overtaken by animals play a part in her ever changing life. But is she changing the world … or is the world changing her? CalRep presents this ravishing, deeply disturbing masterwork from “one of theatre’s most innovative and provocative dramatists” (The Guardian).
