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”- 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.
The Weir
6 / 10
They're likable characters, they tell beguiling spooky little yarns. But what large truths are being revealed, what is there beyond a pleasant slice-of-life nod to the traditions of Irish storytelling? In those elements, it lacks weirwithal.
