THE FERRYMAN to Open Ensemble Theatre's 47th Season

Ensemble Theatre is opening its 47th season with THE FERRYMAN, by Jez Butterworth, co-directed by Ian Wolfgang Hinz and Rebecca Moseley, with Claudia Lief Zalevsky serving as assistant director.

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.
