The tallest tales reveal the deepest truths.
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.
The Weir is a testament to the need for human connection, the possibility of hope, and the enduring power of storytelling.
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, In Bruges) stars as Jack in a major new 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.
