Dying City

Jan 8-Feb 8

By Christopher Shinn

Peter shows up unannounced at the apartment of Kelly, his twin brother Craig’s wife, meeting for the first time since Craig was killed in Iraq.
A quiet, penetrating tale of loss and grief set in the shadow of post-9/11 New York, Dying City was named one of the Ten Best Plays of 2007 by The New York Times and was a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Christopher Shinn is “among the most provocative and probing of American playwrights today.” —The New York Times
