Immersive staging of Caryl Churchill’s dystopian play directed by Sam Gibbs.
In a world where paranoia and violence have become ordinary, a young woman named Joan navigates a society at war with itself. Beginning with a disturbing childhood memory and expanding into a surreal political nightmare, Caryl Churchill’s Far Away depicts a world where the line between right and wrong dissolves completely.
This new site-specific production is directed by Sam Gibbs, co–artistic director of Stairwell Theater, whose company is known for immersive reinterpretations of classic texts in unconventional spaces.
Presented by Stairwell Theater, Far Away marks the inaugural theatrical production at Box of Moonlight, a newly converted Bushwick performance venue housed in a former glass factory. The production transforms the industrial space into Churchill’s fragmented, nightmarish vision of conflict and complicity.
