Location: Brixton House

A powerful one-man performance tracing a young boy’s journey from innocence to survival.
“If I invited you to come with me on a journey, a story, will you come with me?”
Northern Uganda. When Okumu’s village is attacked by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), he and his brother’s lives are changed forever.
Far Gone is a profoundly moving story of a young boy’s journey from childhood innocence to child soldier. Originally co-produced with Sheffield Theatres. Told with humour, poetry and startling physical theatre, Okumu’s experience strikes straight at the heart through a powerful one-man performance written by John Rwothomack and directed by Mojisola Kareem. Inspired by Rwothomack’s own near experience of abduction by the LRA, Far Gone explores how conflict reshapes identity, family and belonging and what it takes to hold onto humanity in the face of violence.

Following its critically acclaimed national tour, Far Gone lands at Brixton House for its London Debut as part of its world tour, with performances across the USA, Taiwan and South Africa.

This is storytelling that transcends borders — raw, poetic, and deeply human.

‘This play is not about me, the kid who was lucky enough to escape. This play is for the hundred of thousands who did not. For the future generations who will continue to suffer the trauma the LRA has imprinted on them, for many years to come’ – John Rwothomack
