Experience Caryl Churchill's haunting masterpiece "Far Away" in the unique setting of Ambika P3. Produced by Lost Text/Found Space and directed by Rebecca McCutcheon, this site-specific production explores truth, war, and survival in an uncertain world. Runs 5-23 August 2025.
"These things must be thought about."
Joan can't sleep. She hears screaming outside. Her auntie Harper says it's an owl, but she's not sure. She thought she saw her uncle in the distance, wielding an iron bar.
Years later, and the screaming hasn't stopped. The whole world is at war; the animals and birds too. They say the crocodiles are always in the wrong, that deer terrorise shopping malls, and that all the wasps have to go.
But the deer have been with Joan and Harper for weeks, their goodness shining through their soft brown eyes. So what then is the truth?
Performed in one of London's most exciting new spaces Ambika P3, hidden in the heart of London, this new site-responsive production promises an immersive and intimate experience that brings new life to "the most significant play of this millennium" (Simon Stephens).
25 years since its debut at the Royal Court, this unique revival of Caryl Churchill's masterful surrealist play is not to be missed.
