Christopher Shinn

Published by Dramatists Play Service

1 Male 1 Female

A year after her husband's death in Iraq, Kelly, a young therapist, confronts his identical twin brother, who shows up at her apartment unannounced

"Anyone who doubts that Mr Shinn is among the most provocative and probing of American playwrights today need only experience the creepy, sophisticated welding of form and content that is Dying City

Anyone who has followed the career of Mr Shinn knows that he uses tidy dramatic formulas the better to frame the defiant messiness of human lives. He hooks you with tantalizing exposition - and the lure of a wham-bang solution - and then leaves you alone with your racing mind in a forest of ambiguities

On one level Dying City is as satisfyingly spooky, crisp and corny as an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. But in answering the plot's whodunit-type questions, it spawns a wriggling host of other, deeper questions that stay with you into the night" ~ NY Times
