Steppenwolf brings another of Conor McPherson’s stories to life onstage. The Seafarer is a tale set on Christmas Eve in Dublin about a man who unknowingly enters a card game where the stakes are his soul. Bosting an all star ensemble cast including Chicago native John Mahoney, The Seafarer is a must see for those who wish for something different than the typical happy-go-lucky Christmas shows in town this season.
The Seafarer is at the Steppenwolf Theatre December 4th-February 8th.
