Play: 'The Seafarer'
Author: Conor McPherson
Synopsis of Play
It's Christmas Eve and Sharkey 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. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are even higher. In fact, Sharky may be playing for his soul.
