The Seafarer's
David Morse and Jim Norton will be featured guests tonight on Bloomberg TV's
"Night Talk." "Night Talk" airs on Time
Warner Cable channel 104 at 8PM (outside of New York, please check local listings.).
Morse and Norton recently sat down with Bloomberg
correspondent Mike Schneider to talk about the starring in the critically
lauded production and the relationship between the brothers the two men play in
Conor McPherson's The Seafarer.
Following, the initial 8 PM broadcast, "Night Talk" is
rebroadcast that same night at 10PM and midnight.
The Seafarer is
playing at the Booth Theatre (222
West 45th Street).
The production recently opened on Broadway to rave reviews from critics.
"From Conor McPherson, the author of the Olivier
Award-winning The Weir and the Tony-nominated Shining City,
comes a chilling new play about the sea, Ireland, and the power of myth.
It's Christmas Eve and Sharky (Morse) has returned to Dublin to look after his
irascible, aging brother (Norton) who's recently gone blind. Old drinking
buddies Ivan (Hill) and Nicky (Mahon)
are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival
of a stranger (Hinds) from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher.
In fact, Sharky may be playing for his very soul," explain press notes.
Two-time Olivier Award winner Conleth Hill (Stones in His Pockets, The Producers) is reprising his role as
'Ivan Curry,' which he originated at The National Theatre in London. Ciarán Hinds is best known to
audiences as 'Gaius Julius Caesar' in HBO's epic drama "Rome,"
and Closer in the West End and on Broadway.
Sean Mahon is making his Broadway debut as 'Nicky Giblin.' Drama Desk Award
winner David Morse (How I Learned to
Drive) is returning to New York theatre after receiving an Emmy nomination
for his guest starring role in "House, M.D." Jim Norton is reprising his role
as 'Richard Harkin' for which he received the 2007 Olivier Award.
The Broadway production of The Seafarer opened on Thursday, December 6 and began previews on
Tuesday, October 30. The Seafarer
received its world premiere in 2006 at the National's Cottesloe Theatre,
opening to critical acclaim. The Seafarer
