THE WEIR to be Presented at The Everyman in October

In a small bar call 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 Finbarr enters the bar and introduces them to Valerie, an attractive woman from Dublin, who has just moved into an old, haunted house, in the town. As the night, and the amount of liquor, 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 fight when Valerie reveals a real haunting tale of her own from the past. Examining chances of missed opportunities and the loneliness that results in it, The Weir is a haunting, yet humorous, play with its roots in Irish folklore.
