The Weir

Finbar

"The Weir," a play by Conor McPherson, is a mesmerizing blend of Irish folklore and modern life. Set in a rural Irish pub, it unfolds through the art of storytelling, where local men share spine-tingling tales with a woman new to the area. The play masterfully weaves these ghostly stories with themes of loneliness and connection, revealing the characters' hidden depths and longing for human connection. It's like a cozy evening by the fire, but with goosebumps!

"Matt Donovan as the successful Finbar makes it obvious why the others resent him for his success. Played richly with a spark of wit we soon understand he has worked hard to get where he is and is unapologetic about it."  —Ron Bolton, Broadway World
