Conor McPherson’s Olivier Award-winning haunting tale of stories told in a pub, The Weir, is revived at the Donmar Warehouse.
In Brendan’s pub, isolated above the town, the men are gathering for their daily pint. The arrival of a stranger in their midst – a woman – spurs them to impress her with stories. They are stories of souls past and of spirits very much present. But one story is more chilling and more real than any of the men could have foreseen.
Donmar Warehouse Artistic Director Josie Rourke, whose work at the intimate theatre includes Berenice, The Physicists and The Recruiting Officer, stages this first major London revival of McPherson’s modern classic.
