What is Far Gone about?

Set in Northern Uganda, Far Gone begins when Okumu’s village is brutally attacked by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), shattering his childhood and changing his and his brother’s lives forever.

This deeply moving one-man play charts Okumu’s journey from innocence to child soldier, told with moments of humour, poetic language, and striking physical theatre. Written by and starring John Rwothomack, Far Gone draws on Rwothomack’s own near-abduction by the LRA. Through a powerful solo performance, the play explores the lasting impact of conflict on identity, family, and belonging, and the fragile resilience required to hold onto humanity in the face of violence.
