“The Seafarer”, Live Oak Theater, Berkeley

Sunday, December 13th @ 5:00 pm

The Seafarer, Berkeley • through December 20

A hilarious comedy by one of Ireland’s best playwrights Conor McPherson, The Seafarer is set on Christmas Eve in Baldoyle, a coastal suburb north of Dublin City. The play centers on James “Sharky” Harkin who attempts to stay off the bottle during the holidays as he contends with his irascible brother Richard and his own haunted conscience, but Richard is committed to celebrating the season with a cast of quirky and endearing characters. One by one the party grows and the ensuing card game has life or death ramifications due to the addition of a mysterious stranger from Sharky’s past. Nominated for multiple Tony Awards as well as the Laurence Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Play, The Seafarer promises to be the high point of your holiday season entertainment.

Directed by Michael Storm and featuring Justin DuPuis, Kevin Karrick, Michael Storm, Don Wood, Clive Worsley
