The Weir, Cork Opera House

Kilmeen Drama Group were worthy winners of the RTE All-Ireland Drama Festival in 2011.

On that occasion they presented Tom Murphy’s A Whistle in the Dark; this year they return with Conor McPherson’s The Weir.

The Weir is a mighty piece of writing. First staged in 1997, it has already become something of a period piece, not least because its characters smoke throughout.
