The Ferryman is the sweeping, Tony and Olivier Award-winning drama by Jez Butterworth.
Set in County Armagh during the late summer of 1981, the play follows the sprawling Carney family as they prepare for their annual harvest feast a day of hard work followed by an evening of music, dancing and celebration. But the festivities are shattered when a visitor arrives carrying a secret buried for more than a decade. Widely acclaimed as a modern classic, The Ferryman masterfully blends the tension of a political thriller with the warmth and complexity of a family saga. It is a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the enduring impact of the past amid the turmoil of Northern Ireland’s Troubles.
