NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Faculty Co-produces the play, The Weir

James Doan, Ph.D., faculty in the Department of Literature and Modern Languages in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), was the co-producer, with Christopher Harrington, of the play, The Weir, by Conor McPherson. The South Florida Irish Theatre and ACT of Davie hosted the play on March 15 and 16, 2019, in Davie. The Weir is about a group of men drinking in a bar in rural Ireland and swapping ghost stories. A woman from Dublin arrives and weaves a tale of her own.

Doan is a co-founder of the South Florida Irish Theatre and is actively involved in the theatre community in South Florida, having written and directed plays for Actors Community Theatre (ACT) in Davie. His research interests include the legend of King Arthur; late Renaissance English drama; Irish and Celtic literature; the figure of the vampire in myth, legend and film; and the supernatural in general.
