Everybody Is A Killer

Synopsis

In a small town in the north of France, Francois, who runs a garage, has an appointment with Vincent, a psychiatrist. 'My wife tells me that she only feels pleasure when making love with murderers. If there's no crime, there's no orgasm. What should I do?' Francois asks. Vincent's answer is simple. 'Embrace her fantasy. Invent a fake crime.' The only problem is, just when Francois admits to a murder, a man is actually killed near his garage. And it's not just any old corpse - the dead man is Maurice Weckmann, a dreaded thug no-one dared to chase out of town. Francois, whom has always envied because he's married to the most beautiful woman in the region, then becomes a local star. But who really killed Maurice Weckmann?

Asian Drama
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.
