The Ferryman is the first major play from Jez Butterworth since his acclaimed multi-award-winning, smash hit and now modern classic Jerusalem

It's set in 1981 in rural Northern Ireland, against a back drop of the Troubles and presents a gripping family saga

A family with a dark secret at its core ...

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 Ferryman premiered at the Royal Court, London, in April 2017
