A 2008 Tony Nominee for Best Play, The Seafarer is a funny and haunting alternative to traditional holiday fare. On Christmas Eve in North Dublin, Sharky Harkin finds himself reluctantly hosting old friends at the rundown house he shares with his older brother. A lot of booze and card-playing carry the men into Christmas Day when Sharky must face the grim promise he made to one of his guests decades ago.

This play was brilliant, Conor McPherson out did himself once again. The only problem I had was trying to adjust to American actors trying to pull off an Irish accent. Only a person from Ireland would even notice that the dialects where all over the place.

This is a must see event

More Information About The Seafarer

Description

<p>The Seafarer is the latest work by Conor McPherson, a Dublin-born writer and director hailed by many as one of Ireland’s most prominent contemporary playwrights. Among his many plays are This Lime Tree Bower, St. Nicholas, The Weir (for which he won an Olivier Award), Dublin Carol and Shining City. </p> <p>Two time Elliot Norton Award-winning director Carmel O’Reilly will direct The Seafarer, her first such effort for SpeakEasy Stage. As the Artistic Director of The Súgán Theatre, Ms. O’Reilly introduced Boston audiences to McPherson’s work with her acclaimed production of St. Nicholas in September of 1999. </p> <p>For The Seafarer, Ms. O’Reilly has rounded up three frequent collaborators, actors Billy Meleady, Ciaran Crawford, and Derry Woodhouse, and paired them with two of Boston’s finest talents: Larry Coen, winner of 2007 Elliott Norton Award (Outstanding Actor), and Bob Colonna, who recently appeared as “Hector” in SpeakEasy’s production of The History Boys. </p>
