🎭 VISION THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS 🎭

THE FERRYMAN
📅 Thursday 3rd September 2026 – Saturday 5th September 2026
🕖 Performance begins at 7:00pm

Set in rural Northern Ireland during the 1980s, The Ferryman follows the Carney family as they prepare for the annual harvest. Beneath the warmth, laughter, and chaos of family life lies a deep undercurrent of tension shaped by the political unrest of the time.

When the long-buried body of a missing IRA member is discovered, past secrets resurface, threatening to unravel the fragile peace within the household. Richly layered with themes of legacy, loyalty, and the haunting weight of history, this award-winning play masterfully blends domestic drama with moments of raucous humour and musical whimsy.

Winner of Best New Play at the Olivier Awards and Best Play at the Tony Awards, The Ferryman has captivated audiences worldwide with its powerful storytelling and unforgettable characters.

Directed by returning director Arron Evans, Boulevard will be transformed into the Carney family homestead, inviting audiences right into the heart of a Northern Irish home and a story that explores complex morals, family bonds, and the consequences of the past.

Don't miss this extraordinary theatrical event.

NEW! STAGE ADAPTATION OF CLASSIC EALING COMEDY!
Kind Hearts and Coronets was voted number 6 in the BFI list of best British films of the 20th century! This brand new stage adaptation doesn’t require sets as such but it needs strong performers and lots of doubling – like in the film, where Alec Guinness played all the various murder victims!

6m, 2f (with doubling) running time: 2 hours

SYNOPSIS: Archie Gascoyne Williams is a man on a mission. He comes from a long, illustrious (and very wealthy) family – that of the Gascoynes – through his mother. But she was disowned by the family because she married beneath her rank, by marrying a travelling salesman in ladies underwear. Nevertheless, as Archie discovers, he by the laws of heredity, is in line to inherit the title of Earl Gascoyne (and the family fortunes) should the intervening Gascoynes die.

So he decides to set about working his way up the family tree until he inherits the Gascoyne fortune by the simple expedience of murdering those members of the family that are in his way.
And, besides having his eyes set on the Gascoyne title, he also has his eye on Sibella, the extrovert, sexy sister of Archie’s best friend Grahame Hallward, as well as Edith Gascoyne and a nursery maid. Life’s never simple, is it?

This black comedy is adapted by Derek Webb from the original novel by Roy Horniman, on which the classic Ealing comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets was based. It requires strong versatile performances by the leads, but also has several interesting comic roles for other actors. The play doesn’t require scenery as such, but swift changes of furniture and props are essential. Part of the fun of the piece is that the audience will be aware of the doubling up of the main parts, but many minor parts can be played by different members of the cast.
