Dying City

Jan 8-Feb 8

By Christopher Shinn
Directed by Maxwell Williams

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
