Making Waves

Synopsis

Making Waves is a romantic comedy about a group of disparate ham-radio enthusiasts. These include a lonely video-store owner, a drunken Russian cosmonaut marooned on the space station Mir, a paranoid conspiracy nut, a Californian surfer and an elderly Welsh priest. Two of them exaggerate who they are on the air-waves assuming they'll never actually bump into each other. Unfortunately, when they fall in love with each other's imaginary personas things start to get complicated - especially when they find themselves having to meet face-to-face and are forced to try and live up to their fictitious alter-egos.

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.
