Theatre review: The Weir | The Sound of Music | Party Politics
THE idea of the supernatural is as old as humanity itself; and the genius of Conor McPherson’s great 1997 play The Weir is that it captures that unique human moment when we tremble on the brink between the ordinary world and the uncanny, as well as hinting that it’s our struggle with the awareness of death that often propels us towards the idea of another world, however chilling.
