opening November 8
Regional Premiere
Next up in November, is the piece on many theatre critics’ Top-Ten Lists this year, THE SEAFARER, by Tony-award winning playwright Conor McPherson. Often billed as “chilling,” we love that Variety also said that the play “pushes through into laugh-out-loud comedy.”
It’s Christmas Eve in North Dublin. Sharkey Harkin and his blind brother Richard stock up on booze for some celebratory Christmas Eve poker. When old friends arrive with a dapper if darkly mystifying guest the stakes become deadly serious.
Director Mark Routhier tackles the fabulous yarn. As Director of Artistic Development at the much-lauded Magic Theatre in San Francisco, Routhier recently directed the world premiere of Kevin Fisher's Monkey Room. He often directs arresting new work in the S.F. area and is also a playwright himself, with an MFA in dramatic writing from NYU.
“McPherson is quite possibly the finest playwright of his generation.”
— New York Times
“Succinct, startling and eerie, and the funniest McPherson play to date.”
— London Observer
