Described as a kind of modern Irish ghost story, “The Seafarer” promises audience members equal doses of Celtic folklore, the supernatural and the power of myth.
Sopris Theatre Company’s next production by Conor McPherson is a dark Irish comedy and Christmas tale that follows Sharky as he returns to Dublin to look after his older brother who’s recently gone blind. A night playing poker with a group of old drinking buddies turns into an evening none of them expect – especially when a mysterious stranger shows up.
“The Seafarer” features Brendan Cochran, Gary Ketzenbarger, J.D. Miller, Brad Moore and Owen O’Farrell, and is directed by G. Thomas Cochran.
Because of mature content, this play is recommended only for audiences over the age of 16.
