About The Weir
The tallest tales reveal the deepest truths.
Conor McPherson (Girl from the North Country, The Brightening Air, The Hunger Games) directs his spellbinding masterpiece The Weir for the first time.
Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, Harry Potter, Paddington 2) stars as Jack in what promises to be a definitive production of the celebrated modern classic. The Oscar, Bafta, Golden Globe-nominated, Emmy-winning Gleeson makes a long-awaited return to the stage in his native Dublin, as well as his much-anticipated West End stage debut.
The Weir is the play that brought McPherson (‘one of the finest writers of his generation’ - New York Times) to the world’s attention as a truly great writer, winning the Evening Standard, Critics’ Circle and Olivier awards for Best New Play when it premiered at the Royal Court.
On a stormy night, four local men gather in an isolated pub in rural Ireland. Their usual banter and everyday lives are disrupted by the arrival of a woman called Valerie. The stories they weave to impress her are gripping, haunting and deeply unsettling. Little do they know that she has a profoundly personal story of her own, the sharing of which will leave them all shaken.
