Review: “The Seafarer”
BOSTON, Mass. — “The Seafarer” was one of the most acclaimed plays on Broadway last season. Now, in Boston, SpeakEasy Stage Company has mounted its own production.
It’s about a group of Irish layabouts who meet up with another disreputable character. “Morning Edition” critic at large Ed Siegel has this review.
“The Seafarer” runs through December 13th at the Boston Center for the Arts in the South End. Ed Siegel covers theater and the arts for Morning Edition.
