Reading session for 'The Seafarer' on Tuesday
As the cast in 'The Seafarer' is all male, only men over 40 are required for the play, written by Conor McPherson and first produced in 2006.
It's a black comedy directed by Mischa Fekete, which should break new ground for the Kilcullen Drama Group as one of the longest established entities in the town.
Nominated for multiple Tony Awards as well as the Olivier Award and Evening Standard Award for Best Play, the production's characters are gathered for a game of poker with the highest of all stakes.
The original production premiered in September 2006 at the Cottesloe auditorium of London's Royal National Theatre. It received a 2007 Olivier Award nomination for Best Play, and Jim Norton won an Olivier for Best Performance in a Supporting Role. It was also staged on Broadway in New York in 2007-2008, enjoying a four-month run.
The play was first performed in Ireland at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in May 2008.
