Praise for the acting in the Weir in the Broad Street Review!
"
"Brian Rock is Jack, the local mechanic with a lot of presence but not much going on at home. Oliver Donahue’s Jim, the town handyman, is pitch-perfect as the quiet lad living with his mum and not much to look forward to. Bartenders like Aidan McDonald’s Brendan are frequently the adults in these fictional rooms, and McDonald’s performance strikes the right tone as a man feeling stuck while the locals and the summer tourists take turns running the conversations. Finbar, as portrayed by Rob Hargraves, is perhaps more fatherly and less flashy than he’s been in other productions over the last 30 years. This makes him less of the stereotype real estate agents have become.
It’s Valerie who brings in the tension. Kirsten Quinn gives a quiet, friendly performance, the lone woman in a room with three single men who are trying to impress her while hoping she’s not too much like her annoying es**rt, Finbar. She’s charmed and amused, even when they start bringing up fairies and spooky local legends. Jack is mortified, for her, that the conversation has taken such a boyish turn. But it encourages her to explain why she’s left Dublin and come to this remote town."-Walt Maguire, The Broad Street Review.
