Set in a coastal town in northern Dublin, the play makes no mystery of the identity of one Mr. Lockhart, a new acquaintance who joins a quartet of brackish, hard drinking Irishmen, one Christmas evening, for a high stakes game of poker. The immediate inspiration for The Seafarer is Celtic folklore; in these tales a stranger enters into a poker game, someone drops a card, and when he retrieves it, he notices the stranger's cloven foot. At that, the stranger disappears.
