"…dark and enthralling Christmas fable of despair and redemption… tingles with the author's acute and authentic sense of what is knowable and unknowable in life…THE SEAFARER may just be the pick-me-up play of the season." – NY Times
"Hysterically funny in a unique Irish way..." Steve Cummins RTE
The Seafarer has wowed audiences’ internationally, winning Olivier and Tony awards, and was voted one of the top plays of the last decade in the Sunday Times Critics Choice.

It’s Christmas Eve and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, ageing brother who’s recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. 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…

In the midst of this eerie, darkly humorous tale, celebrated playwright Conor McPherson celebrates the tender story of a family and examines how we face the demons of our past as we struggle to find redemption. So, pull up a chair alongside Sharky, Nicky, Ivan and co and enjoy a great story, well told.

“The Seafarer” has wowed audiences’ internationally winning Oliver and Tony awards and voted one of the top plays of the last decade in the Sunday Times Critics Choice. This funny, moving and chilling play is returning to Ireland in an exciting new production by the award winning Nomad Theatre Network and Decadent Theatre.
