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.

to write a speech about ethics while coping with the distraction of his unbalanced wife, a musical
comedy star...and the murder investigation being conducted in their bedroom. Ben Brantley of the
New York Times raved, "This high-flying, eye-popping production is a comic mystery of scintillating
style and polish and a good old-fashioned detective story with razzle-dazzle showmanship."
