Review: THE FERRYMAN at Rochester Community Players
by Colin Fleming-Stumpf - April 27, 2025
What did our critic think of THE FERRYMAN at Rochester Community Players? Every so often, a production comes along that reminds you exactly why Irish theatre holds such a special place in the dramatic canon. Rochester Community Players’ The Ferryman by Jez Butterworth is one such production—spooky, mystical, sorrowful, and ghost-haunted, yet always shot through with dark humor and the lilt of everyday life. Featuring a sprawling cast, beautifully detailed performances, and a simple but evocative set, this production captures both the intimacy of a family kitchen and the vast, inescapable weight of political turmoil.
