The Seafarer

"THE STUFF OF GREATNESS.DO NOT MISS THIS PLAY!"

-- Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

"ONE OF THE FINEST ENSEMBLES TO GRACE A BROADWAY STAGE IN YEARS"

-- Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"HAUNTING AND HILARIOUS!"

-- Michael Kuchwara, AP

From Conor McPherson, the author of the Olivier Award-winning The Weir and the Tony-nominated Shining City, comes a chilling new play about the sea, Ireland, and the power of myth. It's Christmas Eve and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, aging brother who's recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher. In fact, Sharky may be playing for his very soul.
