The Arden Theatre presents Irish wunderkind Conor McPherson’s Broadway hit, ‘The Weir’, in its Philadelphia première. Winner of two 1998 Olivier Awards including Best New Play, ‘The Weir’ is a stirring tale about people losing and looking for kindred spirits. Taking place in a rural Irish pub, a fascinating story unfolds as a mysterious outsider, bringing promises of a new lease on life, captures the imagination of the bar’s regulars. Drinking ensues and the barroom chat soon becomes a series of increasingly spooky and distressing tales.
