The Weir is not a show where big things happen. Instead, it's a show about human connection.  In an age before everyone was constantly glued to their cell phones, a group of people gather at a bar, drinking and talking. The darkness of the bar, coupled with the storm raging outside its doors, creates an atmosphere of eeriness. This is the perfect backdrop for the night of shared mostly ghostly stories that quickly ensues. Although the show meanders along at a slow pace, the good rapport among the characters and the intriguing stories they tell keep things interesting. If you are not a fan of ghostly stories or unsolved mysteries, you likely won't appreciate this show, but if you are, you should particularly enjoy it. 

And that's our view. For more about The Weir or to purchase tickets, visit irishrep.org/show/2024-2025-season/2024-2025-season-the-weir.
