"The Seafarer" (New Orleans)

Nov. 5 through Dec. 7, at the Southern Rep Regional Theatre, Canal Place, 3rd Floor. For more info: (504) 522-6545. It’s a lonely Christmas Eve in North Dublin and Sharky Harkin and his blind brother Richard pick up some booze for some celebratory poker. When their raffish old friends drop by with a dapper, if karly mystifying guest, the stakes become deadly serious.
