Curlew Theatre Presents: Ferry

Ferry is a play for two voices playing five characters. Its title, remembers the myths that portray the passage after death to the next world, “the other side”. It is a journey on the ferryboat to the other world. The five passengers, played by two voices, talk to one another or to themselves, revealing fragments of their lives now left behind them. The bits and pieces that emerge in this way form a collage meditation on life and death, religion, violence, ambition, body, spirit, language itself, and memory. What they offer are some random but pivotal moments that mattered in these ordinary or not so ordinary lives. Between short exchanges and longer soliloquies we get to know a little about these different, wounded lives.
