“A richly absorbing and emotionally abundant play...An instant classic.” ―Independent
“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.” ―Financial Times
“An astonishing, enormous, shattering eruption of a play...It left me genuinely stunned.” ―Time Out London
“A rich, serious, deeply involving play about the shadows of the past and the power of silent love.” ―Guardian
“It’s 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.” ―Variety
“A serious, seriously good, grown-up play...Something special.” ―The Times
“A feast of intricate storytelling, it’s absorbing, soulful and ultimately shattering.” ―Evening Standard
“Vanishing. It’s a powerful word, that. A powerful word.”
Armagh, 1981. The Carney farmhouse in Northern Ireland 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.
