The Irish Heritage Theatre announces its March production Conor McPherson’s “The Weir”. This is the first time that the company is tackling a play by this esteemed, award-winning Irish playwright.
The play is set in a rural Irish Pub where locals swap spooky and humorous tales of ghosts and folklore to impress a newcomer, Valerie. She then shares her own tragic story, revealing a shocking trauma that bonds the group. Exploring themes of isolation, missed connections, and the supernatural in everyday life while blending chilling suspense with warm, witty banter, Conor McPherson’s popular and critically acclaimed play is directed by Peggy Mecham.
The cast features Aidan McDonald, Brian Rock, John Cannon, Oliver Donahue, Rob Hargraves, and Kirsten Quinn.
