THE SEAFARER to Open at Burning Coal Theatre in December
Performances will run December 3 - 20.
Burning Coal Theatre Company will present The Seafarer by Conor McPherson, directed by Jerome Davis. The Seafarer will run December 3 - 20, 2026, at the Murphey School.
ABOUT THE SEAFARER
Its Christmas Eve in Dublin and 'Sharky' has just lost his job and returned home to take care of his newly blind brother Richard. They are soon visited by their bumbling friend Ivan to have a few jars of 'Christmas Cheer' and play a few friendly hands of poker when in walks young Nicky, who has brought with him the mysterious Mr. Lockhart. A terrible secret and dark discoveries turn this friendly game of poker into a deadly competition as Sharky tries to outrun the sins of his past. This play was originally produced 16 years ago and stands as one of the landmark Burning Coal productions from its past. We are happy to revive it in this, our 30th anniversary season.

Reprising the role of Mr. Lockhart from our original 2010 production is Randolph Curtis Rand, along with familiar faces on the Burning Coal stage Simon Kaplan as Richard, Chip Carey as Sharky, and Andrew Price Carlile as Nicky. Newcomer Matt Donohue rounds out the cast in the role of Ivan.
