See this, not that: The Weir, The Movies
SEE THIS
A heartfelt, chilling performance by five acquaintances gathered on a shivery night in the Irish countryside. Each takes a turn captivating the others with an intimate story of ghosts and personal tragedy.
It is an evening of creepy tales, not meant to scare but to challenge and question what is real and what is not. Widely cheered by critics, this production is 90 minutes with no intermission.

Pub denizens’ tall tales come together in a powerful production of Conor McPherson’s play at Irish Rep
NYTheatre
Perhaps this is a fading way of life, certainly it is unimaginable in an urban setting, but as good theatre can suspend one reality and give you a taste of another, this evening has the power to transport you.

Theatre Is Easy
A hauntingly human feat of Irish storytelling.
TimeOut New York
The work moves beyond mere coziness; an excellent cast and McPherson’s profoundly felt humanism make the piece warming on some deep, maybe even soul-deep, level.
NOT THAT
When seeking to escape the heat, don’t default to a movie, plays and musicals happen in well air conditioned theaters too. Tickets can be found at a price equal to or less than a movie ticket.
If The Weir is outside your budget, even with the discount code, you can find other discounted theater tickets at Theatermania.
