| | | CRITICS ARE RAVING ABOUT THE SEAFARER!
"Merrimack Rep's production of The Seafarer is spellbinding! An extraordinary ensemble of actors guides us through the dark waters of sin and redemption."
- Joyce Kulhawik "The Seafarer is richly rewarding for its Irish humor, outstanding acting and jolting finale." "As usual at the MRT, great attention is given to detail... A must see." "One of the most compelling performances I've seen in a long time... the audience was on the edge of our seats." | | THE SEAFARER FINAL TWO WEEKS!
Must End NOVEMBER 8
A mysterious stranger visits four friends for a Christmas Eve poker game in The Seafarer, a play by leading Irish playwright Conor McPherson.
The Seafarer currently is one of the Top 10 most produced plays in America. Nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play, The Seafarer is a hilarious and chilling tale of the sea, Ireland and redemption. James "Sharky" Harkin has returned home to care for his aging brother Richard, who has recently gone blind, and to spend Christmas Eve with old friends Ivan and Nicky. Nicky is accompanied by the mysterious Mr. Lockhart, whose connection to Sharky's past is slowly revealed as the evening devolves into an all night, liquor-soaked game of poker with damningly high stakes.

 Regional Premiere - Henri, Gustave and Philippe survived World War I. Forty years later, as residents in a veterans' home and armed only with what is left of their wits and a 200-pound stone dog, they battle old age, nagging war injuries, and a masochistic nun. It is a heartwarming tale of camaraderie and a moving portrait of the frustrations inherent in growing older. "Theatrical hit, a boulevard comedy
bull's-eye...achieves a seductive fusion of the comic, sad and absurd." - The Evening Standard
The acclaimed actors and creative team include Academy Award, Tony Award, Olivier Award, Obie Award and Drama Desk Winners. The all-Equity cast features 3 veteran actors of both the stage and screen. Tony Award-winner Ron Holgate (Gustave) and Jonathan Hogan (Philippe) reprise their roles from a Spring 2009 Keen Company production of Heroes. Ron Holgate won a Tony Award in 1969 for his portrayal of Richard Henry Lee in the Broadway production of 1776. He later reprised the role for the film version of 1776, and also appeared on Broadway in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 42nd Street, Lend Me a Tenor and Guys and Dolls. Tony-nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Jonathan Hogan has also made numerous appearances on Broadway, including The Homecoming, As Is and Fifth of July. Ken Tigar (Henri), a television regular with over 130 television and film credits, makes his debut on the Liberty Hall stage after appearing in Merrimack Repertory Theatre's 2007 Off-Broadway production of Secret Order.
