As each one tells a story they discover what they never knew about themselves and each other. The Weir encompasses the true essence of storytelling and the fierce need to connect. Conor McPherson’s other works include The Seafarer, Shining City, and Dublin Carol . “A moment arrives, and it's hard to say exactly when because you've shed all sense of time, when you realize that you have strayed into territory that scrapes the soul.” Ben Brantley, The New York Times In a small Irish town, friends meet in their local pub for a few drinks and are interrupted by a newcomer. They set about acquainting their new neighbor with local folktales and ghost stories – but it is her story that is truly haunting.* “A moment arrives, and it's hard to say exactly when because you've shed all sense of time, when you realize that you have strayed into territory that scrapes the soul.” Ben Brantley, The New York Times Runs from October 30-November 21, 2009 at The Calvary Center for Culture and Community (4740 Baltimore Avenue). *Contains Mature Language And Join us for the rest of our Season A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens One Week Only!
