Jez Butterworth's THE FERRYMAN

Ensemble Theatre kicks off our 47th season in EPIC style with the REGIONAL PREMIERE of THE FERRYMAN by Jez Butterworth.
Co-Directed by Ian Wolfgang Hinz & Rebecca Moseley :: Assistant Director Claudia Lief Zalevsky.

Northern Ireland, 1981. Former IRA man Quinn Carney has built a new life on a remote farmhouse in County Armagh, surrounded by a sprawling, boisterous family on the eve of the harvest. But when a long-buried body surfaces from a bog, the past comes knocking — and with it, dangerous men who refuse to let old loyalties die. What unfolds is a sweeping, mythic collision of family, secrets, and violence that reaches all the way back through Irish history and folklore. ‘The Ferryman’ is a breathtaking, unforgettable epic that questions whether any of us can ever truly outrun where we come from.

“The Ferryman is a seismic experience at the theater: As it spins forward, its plates keep shifting under it. You sense the rumbles and you feel the shaking—the shaking might be you—as you wait for this magnificent and harrowing play to crack open.” -Time Out New York
