Jez Butterworth's The Ferryman celebrated its 100th performance on Broadway with a post-matinee party on January 16, where the centerpiece was a larger-than-life cake shaped like one of the production's central cast members, a goose.

Set in rural Northern Ireland in 1981, The Ferryman takes place in the Carney farmhouse, 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. Sam Mendes directs.
