A striking first look cast portrait has been released for the upcoming West End production of The Weir, written and directed for the first time by Conor McPherson.
Presented by Kate Horton Productions and Landmark Productions, The Weir will star Brendan Gleeson in his West End debut as Jack. The production opens at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 12 September and runs until 6 December 2025, with a press night on Friday 19 September.
Joining Gleeson are Owen McDonnell as Brendan, Seán McGinley as Jim, Kate Phillips as Valerie, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Finbar.
The production will first play at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre from 8 August to 6 September before transferring to London.
The Weir is a haunting tale set in a rural Irish pub, where four men share ghostly stories to impress a newcomer, Valerie—only to be shaken by her own deeply personal revelation.
Conor McPherson said, “I couldn’t be happier to be working with this brilliant cast. It’s always exciting embarking on a new production but to revisit The Weir in the company of these particularly accomplished artists feels like a singular privilege and I look forward to sharing this story with audiences in Dublin and London very soon.”
The creative team includes Rae Smith (set and costume design), Mark Henderson (lighting design), Gregory Clarke (sound design), and Amy Ball CDG (casting director).
