The Weir is An Olivier Award-Winning play about ghosts, fairies, graveyards and beer. Set in a remote country pub in Ireland, newcomer Valerie arrives and becomes spellbound by an evening of ghostly stories told by the local bachelors who drink there. With a whiff of sexual tension in the air and the wind whistling outside, what starts out as blarney soon darkens as the tales drift into the realm of the supernatural. Then, Valerie reveals a startling story of her own.
“Sheer theatrical magic. I have rarely been so convinced that I have just seen a modern classic. Tremendous.” - London Daily Telegraph.
The Weir is directed by company member George Kulp. The cast includes company members J. Kevin Smith (Jack), Gavin Whelan (Brendan), Steve Scarpa (Jim), and Melissa Andersen (Valerie), as well as visiting artist John Bachelder (Finbar).
Performances for The Weir will take place on the NHTC Stage in the back of EBM Vintage, 839 Chapel Street, New Haven. Performance dates are over three weekends, Thursdays through Saturdays, April 30 and May 1 - 16. All performances begin at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $25.
