Saturday night I went to the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood to see "The Seafarer" by Conor McPherson, starring John Mahoney.

This Irish play certainly was better than most of the Geffen's recent presentation, unfortunately that's not setting the bar very high.

Lots of swearing and drinking seems like such an Irish cliche. I really can't explain why this show was nominated for a Tony for Best Play in 2008. Must have been a weak year.
