Audiences have just six weeks left to see the critically acclaimed hit production of The Ferryman by Jez Butterworth in the West End. The Ferryman will play its final performance at the Gielgud Theatre on 19 May 2018, prior to its Broadway transfer.
Jez Butterworth’s The Ferryman was the most recognised play at this year’s Olivier Awards with eight award nominations. It went on to win the award for Best New Play, while Sam Mendes was awarded Best Director and Laura Donnelly received the honour for Best Actress.
The Olivier Awards follow successes at The Evening Standard Awards, Critics Circle Awards and WhatsOnStage Awards at all of which The Ferryman was given the Best New Play Award.
The production won widespread critical acclaim when it opened at the Royal Court and was the fastest selling show in the theatre’s history. This phenomenal success has continued at the Gielgud Theatre where it has been playing to sold-out houses.

The Ferryman in the West End is directed by Sam Mendes, designed by Rob Howell, lighting by Peter Mumford, sound and original music by Nick Powell, with the current cast directed by Tim Hoare and casting by Amy Ball CDG.
