The Ferryman and his Wife

The Ferryman and his Wife

There was a play, think it was Tom Stoppard, and while I have a copy of the script here, I can’t locate it at the moment.

Arcadia?

Might’ve been the title.

Saw the play on stage, at the National, in London. The premise, or part of the plots? Oscar Wilde was being rowed across the River Lethe, and the play was the conversation between Wilde and the ferryman, ostensibly, if memory serves, was Charon.

What I recall was the actor playing Wilde talking as a makeshift stage boat traversed a wet-looking expanse of stage.

The Ferryman and his Wife

Made me think of that play, years ago. More like an epistemological meditation on death and dying?
