Kate Horton Productions and Landmark Productions have announced the full cast for a new production of The Weir, written and directed for the first time by Conor McPherson.
The production stars Brendan Gleeson, making his West End debut as Jack, and will run at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 12 September to 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.
Before its West End run, The Weir will play at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre from 8 August to 6 September 2025.
Set in a rural Irish pub on a stormy night, The Weir explores the power of storytelling and human connection as four men share ghostly tales to impress a mysterious newcomer, Valerie—who has a haunting story of her own.
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), and Kevin Gleeson (sound design).
Tickets for the West End run are now on sale, with 10,000 seats available at £30 and under, including 3,000 for under 30s and blue light workers.
