Far Away

Play by Caryl Churchill

This dystopian play written by the Caryl Churchill, is a environment where people have very little choice through a long lasting war. Joan and Todd work within a hat making factory, for prisoners who head to execution in a weekly parade. This morbid story is revealed in fragmented pieces, plays accompany of terrible events in history. Merging these two events into one and adding large, colorful hats creates horror simply by contrast. The parade of prisoners to their execution devalues human life.
