Card Sharks: The Drama Dick plays his hand against the rugged cast of 'The Seafarer'

Post Gazette: "It seems it's about five middle-aged Irish guys who gather in a seedy coastal Irish flat on Christmas Eve and play poker but mainly talk (duh, they're Irish) and it turns out there's more than money at stake. You could tell that from the title, taken from an old Anglo-Saxon poem about exile and despair, which is why the set has a sinking ship feeling. The Drama Dick knew his Anglo-Saxon -- he'd been to college back when it meant something -- but he'd leave the metaphors to the critic. He was here to suss out the people."
