REVIEW: The Weir, Mercury Theatre Colchester ✭✭✭✭
That aside, this production of The Weir will make you want to pour a Guinness, get close to the fire, and listen to these people tell their stories.

This is an unsettling rather than disturbing night at the theatre that raises more questions than it can readily answer, and part of trouble lies in the way those questions are posed. However, this is terrain where few convincing pathways are currently discernible and where few playwrights have dared to tread at all. The subject and theme still awaits its Voltaire, its Shaw or even perhaps its David Hare.
