How Small, How Far Away

An International Co-Production with The NEOMFA and Playwrights Local 4181 of Cleveland, Ohio

It is the second week of summer 2010 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On Monday a military translator returns home from Afghanistan to news of a family crisis. On Friday his sister will host a surprise welcome-home party. In the meantime, ordinary life happens: he revisits old haunts, catches up with his best friend, meets a schoolteacher from Texas and thinks about buying a shirt. Created with Cleveland-based playwright Mike Geither, How Small, How Far Away is about the simple, vital human connections that make up our day-to-day.

Originally titled The Attaining Gigantick DimensionsHow Small, How Far Away had its premiere run in April 2013 at the Neptune Studio Theatre and, after a period of revision and revamped design, toured to Cleveland in 2015. Zuppa is pleased to present this new version of the show for four nights only, from April 28th to May 1st, 2016.
