Synopsis

Hypnotic, almost ritualistic, portrait of Eric, a 17 year old boy trying to keep control over his own intense emotions - especially his feelings for Jason, an 18 year old boy who barely knows him. One afternoon he succumbs and climbs through Jason's window, saying to his empty room what he has until now been unable even to speak out loud. It is here, illicit and alone, in Jason's bedroom, that he finally cones to terms with his own obsession.

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.
