“I’m just saying - if you know someone is manipulating you, then you should tell them.”
Peter’s twin brother Craig dies whilst serving in Iraq. A year later Peter seeks out his former sister-in-law, Kelly. If he’s hoping for comfort, he’s mistaken. This isn’t an episode of Law & Order; there will be no reassuring closure. Nothing about a death - or a life for that matter - is ever that easy.
From public conscience to private grief, Dying City was one of The New York Times’ top ten plays of 2007.
“Anyone who doubts that Mr Shinn is among the most provocative and probing American playwrights today need only experience Dying City” - The New York Times
