Synopsis

The spellbinding, beautifully observed hit from the master of suspenseful realism.

A bar in a remote part of Ireland.

The local lads are swapping spooky stories to impress a young woman recently moved to the area from Dublin.

As the drink flows and the stories become increasingly frightening, it's clear that Valerie has something on her mind.

She has a tale to tell that'll stop them all dead in their tracks.

Conor McPherson's play The Weir combines superbly chilling tales of the supernatural with the hilarious banter of a small community in the heart of rural Ireland.
