Hitting the boards at the Seattle Repertory Theater

Posted by & filed under Events, Theatre.

Nicky Giblin in the SeafarerThere’s people that do this for a living and they’re much more clever than I am, so here’s their words:

“In this darkly compelling recent Broadway hit, four Irish friends gather for a card game with devilishly high stakes.”

Still not hooked? Perhaps, the longer version:

“In a forgotten corner of Northern Dublin, four old friends gather to face the holidays the only way they know how—with a bottle of whiskey and a deck of cards. But when a mysterious stranger arrives and wants a piece of the action, the men find themselves playing a game with devilishly high stakes. Steeped in Irish myth, this recent Broadway hit dubbed “Best New Play of the Year” (Wall Street Journal) is darkly funny and surprisingly uplifting.

Under the direction of Tony-Award-nominee Wilson Milam (The Lieutenant of Inishmore), the Seattle Rep production features local favorites Hans Altwies, Frank Corrado, Sean G. Griffin, Russell Hodgkinson and Shawn Telford.”

The show begins previewing Thursday February 26 and continues previewing that week Friday, Saturday, as well as Monday and Tuesday the following week.
