Synopsis

LONDON, 2024. Terror strikes at Heathrow Flight Control Tower. An unknown fault with the landing software has stranded nine planes over London. Onboard computers glitch as frantic Pilots radio in for emergency landing clearance. Fuel levels run low. Planes are in danger of crashing into each other.

A race against time, our hero John Steel battles to prevent the impending catastrophe. The virus devours the Flight Control's network. Proving too powerful for John, Heathrow suffers a horrific air-traffic tragedy. But our hero is not that easily conquered. With the help of his top virus tech, Jack Beale, John sets out to destroy the virus. Imagine their surprise when they discover their nemesis AVATAR is a beautiful woman with a cruel-set sneer. In a dazzling array of skilled fighting, AVATAR gets straight to work making mincemeat of John and his team. Through a series of action packed encounters, John battles a seemingly unconquerable adversary.

The story climaxes on the rooftop of Britain's tallest building, the Central Communications Tower. Running out of options, John finally discovers the solution to his problem.

The Weir cast and director The Weir

Director: Conor McPherson

Year: 2026

Set in a remote pub in rural Ireland, four local men - Jack, Brendan, Jim, and Finbar - gather for their nightly pints. Their routine is disrupted when Finbar introduces Valerie, a newcomer from Dublin. To impress her, the men trade eerie local folklore and ghost stories. However, the mood shifts profoundly when Valerie reveals the tragic, personal reason for her arrival. Far from a simple thriller, the play is a tender, intimate exploration of deep-seated loneliness, the comfort of shared storytelling, and the delicate human need for connection amidst the isolation of the countryside.
