Commentary In Favor Of Books Far Away

Far Away opens on a girl questioning her aunt about having seen her uncle hitting people with an iron bar. Several years later, the whole world is at war - including birds and animals. The girl has returned to her aunt to take refuge and begins to describe her journey: "There were piles of bodies and if you stopped to find out there was one killed by coffee or one killed by pins, they were killed by heroin, petrol, chainsaws, hairspray, bleach, foxgloves, the smell of smoke was where we were burning the grass that wouldn't serve..."

Write-Up Of Books Far Away

oh i get it now

Far Away is a short, shocking read. This bare bones play throws insane dystopian details at you with each line. The first third is most frightening, the final third most creative.

I read this for a script, but i did not really enjoy it. It follows a character through their life. Its basically how she saw a very evil act, then how she was a hatmaker and she meets some guy. It is an okay read, i am sure that it is an okay play but seems boring to me.

This short play was such a gem about telling stories to protect people - is it right to lie and to help someone, or will that only further hide the dark secrets that need to be revealed? What if those secrets are right out in the open and people are too ignorant to even turn a blind eye?

A world so at war with itself, even the animal kingdom takes sides. In a way, Far Away (which I've read multiple times) is like The Matrix, a seemingly science fiction world that parallels reality a little too closely. Devastating, cruel, funny, a quick punch to the gut.

My first Churchill, and wow, this was deeply powerful and disturbing. Churchill dehumanizes the human, something I have never seen before. She describes a world where ALL is encompassed in this forever war that shows no signs of ending as technology gets more and more shocking. Really enjoyed reading this, despite it freaking me out throughout.

This is the best representation of a play about war without being about a particular war. It was recommended to me by the director of another war play, a recommendation that came out of a conversation about awareness. It is political without being pointed, though there are clear allusions to WWII, at least visually. The point, though, is that war is not far away. War is not limited by borders or species. What seems like an absurd conversation about deer, elephants, and crocodiles hits hard by
