The Weir - Wyndham's Theatre

Unfortunately The Weir confirmed my initial fears – a play about 5 people chatting in a pub can’t be that entertaining. I went along for the scare factor, as I love a good ghost story. But the stories are anything but frightening and the rhythm of the piece painfully slow. There is the odd injection of humour; a woman ordering wine in a ‘man’s’ pub that clearly only serves ale and beer hence when the bar tender does find a bottle in the house it has to be poured into a tall glass – and is poured as you would a glass of larger. These moments are, unfortunately, too few.

The Weir can be seen @ Wyndham's Theatre until 19th April.
