SHINING CITY

​A WORLD PREMIERE
November 26, 2014 – January 4, 2015
written by Conor McPherson
directed by Jeff Christian

​
Two Dublin men wrestle the living and the dead in this contemporary ghost story by the incomparable Conor McPherson. Ian, an ex-priest turned therapist takes on his first patient, John, a man who claims to have seen the ghost of his recently deceased wife. What follows is a haunting and suspenseful tale of what it means to lose faith – in God, in relationships and in one’s self.
