Virtual Hangover

Went to watch The Seafarer at the MRT last night and have a virtual hangover today. And must point out that this tale had nothing to do with the sea (other than maybe the sea of life), and if you were not raised in the Christian tradition (like someone who shall remain nameless), you miss much of the story. Irish stories tend to be dark and involve much drinking - this one was no different. Did enjoy it, but really needed a drink when it was over!

The Seafarer
by Conor McPherson

Nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play, this hilarious and chilling tale of the sea, Ireland and redemption brings old friends together on Christmas Eve for an all night, liquor-soaked game of poker with damningly high stakes. Steeped in Irish myth, the play is both darkly funny and surprisingly uplifting. (Contains Strong Adult Language, Estimated Run Time: 2 hours, 35 minutes with one 15-minute intermission).
