Recenzii

An unexpected return to naturalism for Simon Stephens in this frail, gorgeous monologue
Simon Stephens's Song From Far Away is one of the saddest plays I have ever seen . . . offset by mournfully funny moments.
It's a strong premise, and one that Stephens tackles with both humour and poignancy: there are some funny moments, and others that snatch the breath from the throat.
a new monologue by Simon Stephens that treads lightly through the imagination yet leaves behind a set of indelible footprints. . . . Stephens's writing demands patience and an attentive ear. . . . this miniature tragedy about the comforts and terrors of intimacy is both as soft as a sigh, and bruisingly desolate.
there are echoes of Stephens's heartbreaking Sea Wall in the way it cradles grief and confronts how we disappear without trace. . . . Song from Far Away offers a window into the heart.
Stephens muses on the concept of home and belonging; in this case, not just a geographical location, but the sense that we never settle down in this life itself.
a 75-minute meditative monologue - a searching study of impotently self-aware emotional insufficiency
