The Weir
Written by Conor McPherson

Directed by Dillon Bates

Set in a small, remote pub in rural Ireland, three local men gather one night to share their usual gossip, lies, and a pint or two. On this particular evening, their close-knit group is joined by a newcomer to the area. As the night becomes dark and stormy, their stories take the same path, following the rural Irish tradition of faeries and folklore. The tables are soon turned, however, when Valerie the newcomer, tells a tragic tale of her own.
