Presenting The Weir
The Weir, by Conor McPherson, will be performed November 2-5, and directed by Russell Stiles.
In a small bar called The Weir in a rural town in Ireland, three local men are settling down for the night, enjoying good beer and company. Their normal routine is shaken up when their friend Finbar enters the bar and introduces them to Valerie, a woman from Dublin who has just moved into an old, haunted house in the town. As the night (and the amount of liquor consumed) progresses, each local from the bar starts to tell a tale of ghostly happenings in the town. What starts as innocent braggadocio between the men turns into a real fright when Valerie reveals a real, haunted tale of her own from the past. Examining chances of missed opportunity and the loneliness that results, The Weir is a haunting play with its roots in Irish folklore.
