And there's no dark like a winter night in the country. And there was a wind like this one tonight, howling and whistling in off the sea. You hear it under the door and it's like someone singing. Singing in under the door at you. It was this type of night now. Am I setting the scene for you?
The tallest tales reveal the deepest truths.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Weir
The Weir
8 / 10
Four Irishmen and a lass walk into a bar and tell some ghost stories. No joke—that, in short, is the premise of Conor McPherson’s atmospheric drama, The Weir. Set in a pub in 1998 rural Ireland and consisting primarily of monologues, the work does not so much have a beginning, middle, and end as it has a beginning and five middles. Irish Repertory Theatre director Ciarán O’Reilly calls on a veteran cast to make the play palatable, and they do not disappoint, together offering an engaging interpretation of a piece that, if structurally curious, at least features the three pillars of any good Irish play: loss, regret, and loneliness.
“The Weir”- Camaraderie, Alcohol, and Ghost Stories
8 / 10
The play is an old friend to habitués of Irish Repertory Theatre, including myself. This is its fourth incarnation. Dan Butler peppers conversation with well honed barbs and reveals Jack’s sensitive side with finesse. John Keating is beautifully low key. The actor could give lessons in listening. Sean Gormley’s Finbar has just enough ego to separate himself, but the performer keeps him likeable. All have repeatedly played these roles. Camaraderie is organic.
