Stephens Simon Stephens 
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.
