THE WEIR - Theatre Artists Studio - February 26 – March 13, 2016

by Conor McPherson  

In a remote country pub in Ireland, newcomer Valerie arrives and becomes spellbound by an evening of ghostly stories told by the local bachelors who drink there. With a whiff of sexual tension in the air and the wind whistling outside, what starts out as blarney soon turns dark as the tales drift into the realm of the supernatural. Then, Valerie reveals a startling story of her own . . . Conor McPherson's The Weir is a haunting, evocative evening in the theatre you will never forget.

"The Weir proves to be a profound meditation on the twin themes of loneliness and community, told so theatrically that you'll savor each peat-scented phrase. " —The Wall Street Journal

"For shivers, laughs and a night of master storytelling, you cannot top The Weir...there's no better A/C than the chill going up your spine" —Time Out Theater

The Weir, invites us to re-examine the theater, and to ask ourselves what we seek from stories and those who tell them . . . —New York Times
