Play Title:NOT FOR THE FERRYMAN
Runtime:91-120 minutes
Synopsis:Although the invasions of Crete have occurred many times over the centuries and the invasions of Appalachia by the coal companies have been more recent, both peoples have been forced to fight the destruction of their cultures.

NOT FOR THE FERRYMAN is a love story that takes place in a nursing home in the Catskill Mountains of New York. It is here that two older women, THEA TOMADAKIS and ORIAH PEABODY meet, and as their friendship develops, so does the unexpected love between THEA's son NIKOS and ORIAH's granddaughter TROUT.

Interwoven through the real time and place of this story are the folktales of these two cultures. Each folktale—a journey of the living to the land of the dead--springs from the psyche of one of the characters. TROUT and NIKOS fall in love in the folktales before they fall in love in our time.
