It’s Christmas Eve in Dublin and “Sharky” has just lost his job and returned home to take care of his newly blind brother Richard. They are soon visited by their bumbling friend Ivan to have a few jars of ‘Christmas Cheer’ and play a few friendly hands of poker when in walks young Nicky, who has brought with him the mysterious Mr. Lockhart. A terrible secret and dark discoveries turn this friendly game of poker into a deadly competition as Sharky tries to outrun the sins of his past. This play was originally produced 16 years ago and stands as one of the landmark Burning Coal productions from its past. We are happy to revive it in this, our 30th anniversary season.
