The Weir Tickets and Hotel

The Show
And there's no dark like a winter night in the country.

And there was a wind like this one tonight,howling and whistling in off the sea.

You hear it under the door and it's like someone singing.

Singing in under the door at you.

It was this type of night now.

Am I setting the scene for you?The tallest tales reveal the deepest truths.

Conor McPherson (Girl from the North Country, The Brightening Air, The Hunger Games on Stage) directs his spellbinding masterpiece The Weir for the first time.

Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, Harry Potter, Paddington 2) stars as Jack in what promises to be a definitive production of the celebrated modern classic.

The Oscar, Bafta, Golden Globe-nominated, Emmy-winning Gleeson makes a long-awaited return to the stage in his native Dublin, as well as his much-anticipated West End stage debut.

Joining Brendan Gleeson as Jack are Owen McDonnell as Brendan, Sean McGinley as Jim, Kate Phillips as Valerieand Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Finbar.

The Weir is the play that brought McPherson ('one of the finest writers of his generation' - New York Times) to the world's attention as a truly great writer, winning the Evening Standard, Critics' Circle and Olivier awards for Best New Play when it premiered at the Royal Court.

On a stormy night, four local men gather in an isolated pub in rural Ireland.

Their usual banter and everyday lives are disrupted by the arrival of a woman called Valerie.

The stories they weave to impress her are gripping, haunting and deeply unsettling.

Little do they know that she has a profoundly personal story of her own, the sharing of which will leave them all shaken.

The Weir is a testament to the need for human connection, the possibility ofhope, and the enduring power of storytelling.
