I checked out a great production of Conor McPherson's The Weir, at Curio Theatre in West Philadelphia. Read my review, Conor McPherson’s The Weir: Subtlety and the Supernatural at the Curio Theatre at philly2philly.com.
It begins....
Irish playwright Conor McPherson has been called the “finest dramatist of his generation” (London Telegraph) with works that are “as near to perfection as a play can come” (New York Times). Philadelphia has been getting a good look at the acclaimed writer recently, with the Arden’s excellent production of The Seafarer followed closely by a screening of his movie The Eclipse at the 18½ Philadelphia Film Festival, and now a praiseworthy black box production of The Weir, on stage at the Curio Theatre through November 20th. (And if that wasn’t enough, Theatre Exile’s production of Shining City is coming to Plays & Players next April)....
