FAR AWAY by Caryl Churchill Immersive Event - Main Image

Confronting our deepest fears, Caryl Churchill’s extraordinary play depicts a chilling world where everyone is at war, and not even the birds in the trees or the river below can be trusted. TICKETS: PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN, suggested donation: $45 This new, site-specific production transforms a Bushwick warehouse into a chilling and whimsical world not so different from our own. This immersive staging is helmed by co-Artistic Director Sam Gibbs and features performers Rebecca Tyree Gibbs, Joel Watson, Avalina Ortiz, and Obie Award–winner Maude Mitchell.
