Brendan Gleeson will make his West End debut this autumn in a revival of The Weir, directed for the first time by its playwright Conor McPherson.
Gleeson, whose films include The Banshees of Inisherin and Paddington 2, described McPherson’s play as “profoundly moving, inspiring and ultimately hopeful”. He will play one of the four men sharing stories in a remote Irish pub with a woman who has newly arrived in the area.
