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 the production at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.
The production is designed by Rob Howell, with lighting by Peter Mumford, and sound and original music by Nick Powell.
