ST. NICHOLAS by Conor McPherson

An acerbic Dublin theatre critic falls prey to a cabal of vampires in ST. NICHOLAS: Conor McPherson’s macabre 1997 tale of one soul’s self-inflicted thirst.

An sep production benefitting Seanachai Theatre and Shanghai Low Theatricals, ST. NICHOLAS will be staged by Matthew Miller (Steppenwolf’s OBLIVION, Seanachai’s Jeff-Nominated production of McPherson’s THE WEIR), produced and performed by Chicago veteran actor Steve Pickering (Goodman’s ASK AUNT SUSAN: the latest of over 30 for the theatre since 1987), marking the pair’s second collaboration following Miller’s world premiere production of Josh Rollins’ A GIRL WITH SUN IN HER EYES for Pine Box Theater, Summer 2011.

The production team features lighting by Chicago Opera Theatre’s Julian Pike, and sound by 6-time Jeff Award-winner Victoria Deiorio. Dublin native Deirdre Hayes serves as Dramaturg and Assistant Director, and Jeri Frederickson is the production’s stage manager.

The limited run of 15 performances will be presented at The Irish American Heritage Center, December 1st thru the 18th 2011 AD. All information regarding tickets, etc. may be had by visiting www.seanachai.org
