THE WEIR
"Tessa Klein, as Valerie...elicits the deepest emotions. Her sense of loss is profound"
-The New York Times
"The Weir is carefully structured to build up to Valerie's big scene, and Ms. Klein knows how to deliver the payoff. Even during the first part of the play your eyes keep flicking to her, and you wont be able to look away once she takes center stage. Her colleagues are all strong, but it's Ms. Klein you'll be thinking about the next day"
