About this product
Product Information
'Vanishing. It's a powerful word, that. A powerful word.' County Armagh, Northern Ireland, 1981. 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. Developed by Sonia Friedman Productions, Jez Butterworth's play The Ferryman premiered to huge acclaim at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in April 2017, before transferring to the West End and then Broadway. The production was directed by Sam Mendes. It went on to win the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play, and the Critics' Circle, Olivier and WhatsOnStage Awards for Best New Play. It also won the 2019 Tony Award for Best Play. 'A richly absorbing and emotionally abundant play... an instant classic' - Independent 'An astonishing, enormous, shattering eruption of a play... it left me genuinely stunned' - Time Out 'Huge in the scale of its cast, of its ambition, of its rich themes. But above all, massive in its capacity to hold an audience rapt, in silence, telling them a story. It is, like Jerusalem before it, an extraordinary, thrilling act of belief in the power of theatre to gather people in a room and make them listen... Butterworth's writing, both flexible and controlled, makes every moment, whether funny, tender or tragic worth leaning forward to catch... a triumphant, bold piece of theatre, full of life and heart and passion' - WhatsOnStage 'Butterworth has done it again... a drama of mighty magnitude... miss this and you've missed a marvel' - Telegraph 'A ripping thriller in a big family home, stuffed with eccentricity and black comedy, it swells into an expansive examination of Republican history, politics and identity, as tied up with the IRA... a tumbling and tumultuous play, one that swerves off into storytelling, song and dance, and debate, without taking its eye off the need for suspense. It's a thriller that bursts the bounds of its genre, but never forgets what makes the form tick. Butterworth loads his traps patiently, then bides his time... it's a prime example of thinking through theater, as Butterworth embodies ideas and makes images felt, rubs stories off against each other and stirs motifs into the mix. From missed-out motherhood to lost love, the play courses with yearned-for connections that remain agonizingly incomplete. But it is, above all, entirely entertaining' - Variety 'Fully justifies the hype... a feast of intricate storytelling, it's absorbing, soulful and ultimately shattering' - Evening Standard 'Jez Butterworth is back - and how... his new play is a mighty affair, sending stories, characters, history, politics and love skittering across the floor with the flair of a gambler rolling dice. It's a stunning piece of writing: teeming with life; haunted by death... Butterworth takes the great family drama and makes it his own. You can see traces of Friel, Miller, Chekhov, Ibsen, even Aeschylus and Sophocles, and it's clearly a twist on the Irish dramatic canon. He offers a masterclass in observing the classical unities, using dramatic irony and building tension. But he also brings to it his own love of storytelling and skill with menace, binding the two to depict the tragic mesh of conflict... a magnificent play that uses, brilliantly, the vitality of live theatre to express the deadly legacy of violence' - Financial Times Best New Play, Critics' Circle Awards Best New Play, Olivier Awards Best New Play, WhatsOnStage Awards Best Play, Evening Standard Theatre Awards Best Play, Tony Awards

- e***6 (772)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWell packed, excellent condition, arrived on time. But not enough info was provided in the seller's description. I thought I'd ordered a catalogue of the paintings exhibited in the 1951 RA Ecole de Paris exhibition - what arrived was an illustrated selection of 'highlights'. My fault I suppose - the covers of both are identical except for the price (the one I received was the more expensive - 2/6 as opposed to 1/-!). But vendor, please in future provide EXACT details of what you're selling.L'Ecole De Paris 1900-1950, Royal Academy of Arts, Very Good Book (#255960552541)
