Goodman Theatre Presents ST. NICHOLAS Starring Brendan Coyle
Goodman Theatre presents a limited engagement of St. Nicholas-an internationally-acclaimed major revival by London's Donmar Warehouse of Conor McPherson's 1997 intimate thriller, directed by Simon Evans. The monologue play stars Olivier Award-winning actor Brendan Coyle ("Mr. Bates" of the smash sensation Downton Abbey, for which he earned an Emmy Award nomination) in "a superlative, mesmerizing performance that's simply not to be missed" (The Arts Review).
"When I was a boy, I was afraid of the dark... What was there. And maybe one of the things I thought was there was vampires." When a jaded Dublin theater critic (Coyle) abandons his ordinary life in pursuit of a beautiful young actress, his desires lead him to strike an irreversible bargain with a band of modern-day vampires. Inspired by a dream the playwright experienced-in which he was bitten by a vampire and given two painkillers-St. Nicholas is a "spellbinding, chilling vampire monologue (over) two mesmerizing hours" (Time Out London) "directed with empathy and self-awareness by Simon Evans and supported by Peter McKintosh's atmospheric set; what's not to enjoy?" (The Times). "A marvellous new production ... an object lesson in stage-craft' (Independent).
