	Conor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conor is an Irish male first name that may have been derived either from the Irish name Conchubhair (in modern spelling Conchúr or Cnochúr), meaning "lover of hounds" or from the name "Conaire", found in Irish legend as the name of the high king Conaire Már and other heroes.
		Conor has recently become a popular name in North America and in Great Britain, but, outside Ireland, the name is often spelled Connor, traditionally the spelling of the surname (Irish Ó Conchúir).

		McPherson is the first to admit: "I'm all the characters in the play" - perhaps most especially the disappointed demon, Lockheart, who envies the men among whom he moves.
		McPherson wrote the play in fewer than eight months; it could be his most moving, accomplished work yet.
		His grandfather, whom McPherson visited regularly as a child, sometimes simply to sit in silence in the same room together, died while he was writing The Weir; the play pulses with questions about whether one finds rest after death.

		For McPherson, Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy is a perfect illustration of this existential delusion.
		But, according to McPherson, the film's real stroke of genius, which those early detractors failed to spot, is the complexity of the characters.
		Jerry Lewis is "just brilliant" playing resolutely against type as the curmudgeonly Langford, as is Bernhard in her debut as the sinister Langford groupie: "The way that she and De Niro interact is fantastic, just like two bickering siblings fighting over sweets." But it is De Niro who steals the show.
