The Weir Reviews

Beth from Edinburgh

JUST OUTSTANDING

What a show! Loved it. Charming, moving, emotional, funny. Perfectly acted by a magnificent cast this ranks as one of the best nights of theatre I've ever experienced.

MASTER CLASS IN ACTING

My apologies to the cast for not standing and cheering at their mesmerising performances in this totally absorbing play. I saw it today at a matinee and would go so far as to say that it is the best play I have ever seen in the West End and as I am nearly 68 that is quite a compliment.. The brilliantly observed charcters were not exaggerated as I have seenthem myself in a small village pub when I was a girl. I cannot praise the whole cast enough. If anyone was considering acting for a career then go and watch this play and see how it should be done.

MOVING

Beautifully acted by all of the cast. Ardal O'Hanlon was a revelation. Tremendous, well doneQ

QUIETLY DISTURBING - BUT FUNNY!

A play where nothing actually happens - but in a very entertaining way. Chilling ghost stories, heartbreaking tales of loss, and some very funny moments courtesy of Brian Cox and Ardal O'Hanlon, who are a million miles from their past roles. Be aware, this comes in at just under two hours without an interval so make sure you visit the bathroom beforehand. Don't expect action, shocks or massive scares -this is a play on the simmer all the way through.

ENGULFING IF A LITTLE SLOW MOVING AT TIMES

I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard there was just one scene and no interval - part of me thought 'How are they going to keep that interesting?'. But to the credit of the writers and the actors, for the vast majority of the play they managed it expertly. If you're looking for an all-action evening, then this isn't for you. But if you want a play that allows you to connect to the characters and test the boundaries of your imagination, then you can't get any better than The Weir.

GOOD FUN, AND GOOD SOLID PERFORMANCES.

Good fun, and good solid performances by Brian Cox, Risteard Cooper and Ardal O'Hanlon. Set in the tried and tested setting of a provisional southern Irish bar, the show plods along and deliveries the characteristic gags you may expect. However it doesn't disappoint with a few twist and turns of a few tales.
