Nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Play in 2008 and two Laurence Olivier Awards in 2006, The Seafarer is the perfect sinister tale for a midwinter's night. It's Christmas Eve on the coast north of Dublin. Four old friend's are settling in for their annual booze fuelled Christmas ritual of camaraderie and conversation with a hand or two of cards and a gripe or two to settle over recent misdeeds. This year they are joined by a stranger picked up along the way, who brings a bottle of the finest whiskey and a wallet full of cash. He is made as welcome as any stranger might hope for on a cold winter's night...but this particular stranger is the Prince of Darkness himself, and he is playing for souls. McPherson uses a blend of myth, poetic narrative and hilariously dark and contemporary dialogue to re-fashion an old tale, with an ace or two up his sleeve. With a stellar cast and creative team bringing McPherson's extraordinary play to life on the Darlinghurst Theatre Company stage, O'Punksky's The Seafarer is a must see production in Sydney in 2012. "SEAFARER turns gloom into riotous comedy....." - Sunday Independent "Poetic, Brutal, Athletic, Hilarious...." - The Sunday Times PRODUCTION CREDITSDirector: Maeliosa Stafford |
