The Weir by Conor Mcpherson

The spellbinding, beautifully observed hit from the master of suspenseful realism.

'The play of the decade.. a modern masterpiece'

* Express *

'I am convinced that this is the best new play I've seen in years'

* Sunday Telegraph *

'There is a depth in the characterisation... that puts one in mind of an Irish Chekhov. I have rarely been so convinced that I have just seen a modern classic'

* Daily Telegraph *

'A beautifully crafted and compassionate piece, dealing with love, loss and loneliness. It works because one believes so intensely in the characters that one shares the experiences they talk of, because it contains at its heart a shattering event and because it demonstrates the healing potential of storytelling... a fine piece of writing'

* Financial Times *
