Ferry (sic) Entertaining
16 August 2017
I was drawn to The Ferryman through the participation of Paddy Considine and Sam Mendes.
Of course, neither disappointed.
I departed after watching The Ferryman impressed by the ensemble cast, especially the Carney girls, and the unpredictable writing of Jez Butterworth.
It's one I would, and immediately did, recommend and would see again.

Great theatre
12 August 2017
This play is an insight into a large Irish family at the time of the troubles in Ireland. The acting is great and is interspersed with dancing and happiness and the loyalty of a large, close knit family.
Paddy Considine is tremendous in the role as head of the young family. The great aunt is funny with her tales of unrequited love and the respect she has from the younger generation of the family. Definitely worth seeing this fab play.

Riveting

An outstanding production of a brilliant new play. Uniformly strong performances from a wonderfully generous cast.
It is rare to see a play with such a rich blend of humour, poetry and tragedy.
Riveting stuff.

The Ferryman: a memorable evening
12 August 2017
I booked seats as soon as I heard that the play was transferring to the West End, so waited several months before seeing it. The play is long, but utterly gripping. The acting is superb, with believable characters caught in a hideous dilemma during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. I appreciated the changes in pace: it's not all doom and gloom, but is quite funny at times. I'd recommend this unreservedly to an audience of most ages, though non-native speakers might struggle with the Irish accents.

As a Northern Irish Catholic whose family left in mid 60s because of the imminent issues with recruitment of youngsters, this was a flashback for me and touched many parts of my memory.
I am intrigued that so many others can relate to this which is why this must be a truly perspicacious reflection and hit so many chords with such a varied audience .
Brilliant cast and a wonderful 3 hours!

A very thought provoking play. More sad than funny and I thought some of the humour was in poor taste, but the message still came across.

Amazing emotional powerful play.
Had us all gripped from the very start.
Long but really doesnt seem like it at all - but worth sitting in the stalls if you can as we found slightly hard to hear up high in the Grand circle.
Def one of my fav plays I have seen for a long time!

The Ferryman. Unmissable.
26 July 2017
At three hours long I was concerned that this would be too long to maintain a high standard throughout, However, every minute was gripping. My husband was brought up on a farm near Derry and the story really resonated with him. It was a mixture of comedy and tragedy with the balance working well. It was great that all the actors were such an important part of the story with no one being a star. The end was particularly moving. This was certainly the best play I've seen for a very long time.

A terrible beauty.
26 July 2017
A play which holds your attention and stirs your emotions for over three hours is well on its way to being a masterpiece. The play draws the audience in to the whole gamut of personal, family and political emotions in a way which tugs sympathies and moral judgements hither and thither. To do so, dealing with issues, many of which are as relevant as tomorrow's headlines, produces a play of candour and courage by an outstanding cast, who give every line the passion and sensitivity they deserve.

You can read about the play itself elsewhere. It is brilliant and funny yet still overrated by the press, sadly. I sat in the stalls right at the back and strained to hear the fast dialogue, sadly it needs amplification or it needs you to buy more expensive seat numbers! Fortunately the audience were respectfully silent throughout.
