At age 26, Conor McPherson is one of the most compelling new
writers to emerge from Ireland this decade. The first US
publication of this Dublin based author collects all his dramatic
work to date. The lead title, The Weir, has been an unqualified
success in London, Dublin, and Toronto, and will premiere on
Broadway in February 1999. Set in a pub in a Western Ireland
county, The Weir creates a drama of interwoven stories as told by
the locals and how they comfort and distract one another in the
midst of desolation and grief. "Spellbinder that transfixes you ...
no praise is too high ... The Weir offers the most exciting evening
in theatrical London." -- The Guardian "The writing is rich, vivid,
often wonderfully funny ... a distinctive talent to cherish." --
The Telegraph.
Also included in this volume are three tour-de-force one
character plays -- Rum and Vodka, The Good Thief, and St. Nicholas,
a recent hit Off-Broadway in New York and the three character play,
This Lime Tree Bower, where three men tell their overlapping tale
of a fateful night in a small seaside town. ... "it's an
old-fashioned, hard-boiled yarn, another nail-biter from this
award-winning young playwright." -- Sunday Times.
Taken together, these works provide an extraordinary offering
from one of the most original writers of his generation.
