The play "The Ferryman" in Kyiv

The Lesya Ukrainka Theater presents the dramatic play "The Ferryman" based on the play The Ferryman by Jez Butterworth. A few years ago, the production of "The Ferryman" became a hit in London's West End, and later on Broadway in New York. The work was awarded the Laurence Olivier and Tony Awards as "best play". Now for your attention - the production of Kirill Kashlikov. Translation from English was performed by Denis Doroshevsky.

A performance that will become an unpredictable journey for the viewer through a labyrinth of feelings and emotions

The Ferryman in ancient Irish mythology is a psychopomp, a guide to the souls of the dead in the afterlife, a northern analogue of the ancient Greek Charon (however, much more cruel). And it is not surprising that the basis of the work by Jez Butterworth is a terrible find that was accidentally discovered in a swamp...

The plot of the drama unfolds around Quinn Carney, a former fighter of the Irish Republican Army, who, having stopped fighting, decides to return to his usual life - becomes a farmer and is already preparing to harvest with his large family. But the past, which Quinn diligently tried to forget, returns. And this can completely turn the hero's life upside down.

The intrigue in the play is built gradually, as if winding along the undulating mountain slopes and immersing the audience in the world of love and mysticism, revenge and jealousy. And the exquisite humor and special musical accompaniment from folklore songs and rock hits of the 1960s-70s incredibly effectively complement the impression of viewing. At the same time, the inhabitants of the "emerald island" are perceived by the viewer almost as close relatives. We are waiting for you!
