Full casting has been announced for TheaterWorks’ production of Conor McPherson’s The Seafarer, to be presented in the company’s theater in downtown Hartford, November 12-December 21, with an opening set for November 19. Henry Wishcamper will direct.

Set on Christmas Eve, the play concerns four Irish blokes who converge in a dingy Dublin basement for what they hope will be a festive evening of whiskey and poker. When a mysterious stranger arrives, the stakes of the game are raised frighteningly high.

The cast will include John Ahlin, Chris Genebach, Edmond Genest, Allen McCullough, and Dean Nolen.

As previously announced, TheaterWorks’ season will also include Theresa Rebeck’s Mauritius, January 23-March 8; Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone, April 3-May 10; David Lindsay-Abaire’s Wonder of the World, June 5-July 19; and Stephen Karam’s Speech & Debate, August 14- September 27.
