Irish Theatre of Chicago Presents THE WEIR

The locals who gather at Brendan's pub know there's no better way to ward off the chill than a stout pint and a bit of gab, and after an hour with this Olivier Award-winning play by the incomparable Conor McPherson, we're sure you'll agree.

Set in rural Ireland, THE WEIRfinds locals Jack, Brendan, Jim, and Finbar vying to impress Dubliner Valerie with fantastical tales and local legends, but as the evening continues, the tales become personal, and what started out as competition becomes camaraderie as the ghosts of their pasts bring everyone together in unexpected ways.

This revival of our Jeff Award nominated 2010 production is directed by Siiri Scott (MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE) and features original cast members Brad Armacost as Jack, Jeff Christian as Jim, Brad Smith as Brendan, and Sarah Wellington as Valerie, with Dan Waller taking over the role of Finbar.
