THE WEIR
By Conor McPherson Directed by Matt Pfeiffer
November 12 – December 13, 2026
A tight circle of regulars in a small Irish pub on a lonely windswept hillside is joined by Valerie. Just arrived from Dublin, she has moved alone into an old house nearby. Trying to impress the attractive stranger, they tell tall tales of unexplained local events, until one story turns out to be heartbreaking and hauntingly real. From one of Ireland's greatest living playwrights comes an evening of surprises and masterful storytelling.
