A Roots Mbili Theatre Production & Originally Co-Produced with Sheffield Theatres

Northern Uganda. When Okumu’s village is attacked by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), he and his brother’s lives are changed forever.

Inspired by John Rwothomack’s own real-life experience of nearly being kidnapped by the LRA, Far Gone is a profoundly moving story of a young boy’s journey from childhood innocence to child soldier. Told with humour, poetry, and startling physical theatre, Okumu’s experience strikes straight at the heart through a powerful one-man performance.
