The Ferryman is set in rural Northern Ireland in 1981. The Carney farmhouse is a hive of activity with preparations for the annual harvest. A day of hard work on the land and a traditional night of feasting and celebrations lie ahead. But this year they will be interrupted by a visitor. The production earned Tonys for Best Play, Best Director (Sam Mendes), and Best Scenic and Costume Design (both for Rob Howell).
