People are Saying Great Things About The Weir...

Here are some of the reviews for Walterdale's 54th Season Opener, The Weir.  It sure is flattering to hear all this praise for our work!

"The potent mix of McPherson's gift for storytelling, blarney, charm and poignancy,sympathetic direction (Anne Marie Szucs) and an excellent cast that seem as authentic as the peat moss burning in the grate, will keep you entranced."

"The warmth of the pub atmosphere is key to the success of The Weir as a play. The production’s strongest point is its ability to transform the seats of the theatre into the seats of a pub where you just happen to be overhearing a night of stories. Everything from the technical elements to the cultural details to the non-verbal communication between characters contributes to the believability of the characters and, by extension, the believability of their stories."

"Yes, this is a play about ghosts and fairies, about unexplained phenomena—some hearsay, some from personal experience. In total, the characters will tell you four stories about an incident related to the paranormal, and if you have a very active imagination I can guarantee you will get goosebumps as you hear each one of them."

"The Weir combines theatrical art, entertainment and a bit of a spiritual quest. The stories are brilliant, the dialogue lyrical and cast truly embodies their character."
