Plot

Conor McPherson's play The Weir is spellbinding, beautiful suspenseful realism combining chilling tales of the supernatural with hilarious banter of a small community in the heart of rural Ireland.

A bar in a remote part of Ireland. The local lads are swapping spooky stories to impress a young woman recently moved to the area from Dublin. As the drink flows and the stories become increasingly frightening, it's clear that Valerie has something on her mind. She has a tale to tell that'll stop them all dead in their tracks.—Nick Hern Books.
