RESUMO

The present dissertation examines different elements of the supernatural found in three plays by the Irish playwright Conor McPherson: St Nicholas (1997), The Weir (1997) and The Seafarer (2006). The supernatural is a recurrent feature in McPhersons work, although he makes use of different elements in each of his plays with the aim of depicting the anxieties and existential problems of contemporary man. St Nicholas is a parody of vampire stories; in The Weir the author resorts to the Irish oral tradition of storytelling; and in The Seafarer he rewrites Fausts legend.
