An Irish Christmas story that's
funny as hell.
It's Christmas Eve and four Irish blokes converge in a dingy Dublin basement for what they hope will be a festive evening of whiskey and poker. When a mysterious stranger arrives, the stakes of the game are raised frighteningly high. The big question - is this holiday visitor a Santa or a Satan? A fiercely funny spiked Christmas punch from Conor McPherson, Ireland's hottest contemporary playwright.
"The Seafarer may be just the pick-me-up play of the season!"
- The New York Times
"Succint, startling and eerie, and the funniest McPherson play to date."
- London Observer
"The Seafarer first ambushes you and then haunts you for days afterward."
- Time Out London
"A hilarious, spooky and delving play about living hells, drying out,
despair and hope." - Independent
