Sub Zero

Synopsis

Sub Zero is a 'right here, right now' British thriller, set against the back drop of a contemporary Middlesbrough. Where the all too real lives of the people of Grangetown clash with corrupt politics and 'big business'.
Inspired by the ever present subjects of crime, anti-social behaviour and 'Big Brother', it's a thriller, a love story and a document of life for young people in the urban North East of the 21st Century.

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.
