The currents of the modern world might have us dreaming of a simpler life on a far-flung island, but this breathtaking modern classic from Zinnie Harris puts paid to the fantasy in a cautionary tale of an isolated community thrown into chaos when an outsider arrives. 

Based on Harris's own recollections of growing up on Tristan da Cunha, the most remote inhabited island in the world, Further Than the Farthest Thing explores our relationship with the land, and how even the most withdrawn places are no match for the march of modernity.

Direction comes from Jennifer Tang, don't miss this 'visionary' interpretation, now showing at the Young Vic until April 29th.
