Summary
Kim Stanley and Steven Hill created onstage fireworks in this study of Sigmund Freud's first critical case, as he undertakes the analysis of a disabled woman who has no visible source of affliction. The scar is not on her body, Freud reasons, but on her mind and the "far country" of her soul; self-knowledge is her cure.
History
A Far Country opened on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre on April 4, 1961. Starring Kim Stanley and Steven Hill under the direction of Alfred Ryder, the production played for 271 performances.
