Drink yourself up on to the next shelf in the basement. Drink to where possibility feels infinite and your immortality feels strong.

It's Christmas Eve and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, ageing brother who's recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. With the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher. In fact, Sharky may be playing for his very soul...

I hope your eye is in. I hope your game is up. Because to tell you the truth, I'd love a run for my money just once.

Conor McPherson (The Weir, Dublin Carol, Shining City) makes his Abbey Theatre debut with this powerful, funny and unsettling tale, directed by Jimmy Fay.
