Song from Far Away

I drank three glasses of scotch and ginger ale before we´d even cleared Coney Island. I didn´t want to come home. It was then that I decided to write you these letters. On a crisp winter day in New York, Willem gets the call. It´s Mum. Pauli´s died. Come back to Amsterdam. An unforgettable homecoming to an estranged family, a lost love, unsettling sex and an unexamined life. One of Stephens´s most poetic plays to date, Song from Far Away received its UK premiere at the Young Vic, London, on 2 September 2015.
