This marks the first West End transfer for Artistic Director, Josie Rourke since her appointment at the Donmar.

Directed by Josie Rourke, the full original cast reprise their roles: Risteard Cooper (Finbar), Brian Cox (Jack), Dervla Kirwan (Valerie), Peter McDonald (Brendan), Ardal O'Hanlon (Jim).

In Brendan's pub, isolated above the town, the men are gathering for their daily pint. The arrival of a stranger in their midst - a woman - spurs them to impress her with stories. They are stories of souls past and of spirits very much present. But one story is more chilling and more real than any of the men could have foreseen.
