Michael Phillips of Chicago Tribune wrote in that the work is "a two-thirds masterpiece [ A sliver of genius. Matthew Cheney of Tor. Partly, this is because the play is full of suggestion and ambiguity, and utterly lacking in resolution; an effect that, in this case, is haunting rather than, as it would be in the hands of a less skilled writer, frustrating. Its meaning Far Away not merely a moral statement; its meaning is the play itself: its imagery and words, its lacunae and aporias. Howard Loxton of the Camden New Journal asserted in that the play "lasts only 45 minutes but has power out of all proportion. However, Gillinson also argued, "The production is only 45 minutes long and the words, and Far Away, could do with more time to land. Alice Saville of Exeunt wrote, "Churchill subtly scrapes away at the selectiveness of the stories we tell to give our world value, Far Away make it feel safe and cosy. And this one remains what it always was: a beautifully imagined fantastical nightmare.

The play was performed at Far Away Donmar Warehouse from 6 February and 4 April It was directed by Lyndsey Turner. The production was cut short due to the Covid pandemic.
