RGS Drama Presents ‘Far Away’

 

Venue: Reigate Caves
Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 February 2018, 5:00pm, 7:00pm, 9:00pm

Tickets available from the RGS Box Office from 10:00am Monday 22 January


This dystopian drama seems so current, it is hard not to imagine the playwright had her own crystal ball when she wrote this warning back in 2000. The events in the final sequence, when: even nature has gone to war; the elephants have defected to the Dutch; the cats have come in on the side of the French and the weather is in alliance with the Japanese – may seem fantastical. However, this twisted fairytale clearly demonstrates that if you declare war on the world, the world will declare war on you.

In this ingenious, funny and macabre play – Caryl Churchill shows what happens when we refuse to grow up and take responsibility for what is being done in our name.

This thrilling production will be staged in an immersive, promenade space underground – at the East Caves in Reigate. This amazing space will enhance the haunting power of this 50 minute epic, which offers a wake-up call as we sleepwalk towards potential disaster.
