Joining Conor McPherson in the creative team are Rae Smith (set and costume design), Mark Henderson (lighting design) and Kevin Gleeson (sound design).
Set on a stormy night in an isolated pub in rural Ireland, four local men gather. Their usual banter and everyday lives are disrupted by the arrival of a woman called Valerie. The stories they weave to impress her are gripping, haunting and deeply unsettling. Little do they know that she has a profoundly personal story of her own, the sharing of which will leave them all shaken.
