The newest work by the playwright Tony Kushner calls "the greatest living English playwright."Far Away is a howl of anguish at the increasing--and increasingly accepted--levels of inhumanity in a world seemingly perpetually involved in conflict, whether in Chechnya or Sierra Leone, Fiji or Zimbabwe. But is it all as Far Away as we would like to think.

Caryl Churchill is the author of some twenty plays, includingCloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, The Skriker andBlue Heart, seen and admired all over the world.
