The Weekend Theater Presents DYING CITY

The Weekend Theater Presents Dying City by Christopher Shinn with performances on February 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27.

Dying City, a political play, is also a psychodrama about what Arthur Miller called the politics of the soul. It's about public conscience and private grief, and real and symbolic catastrophes. A year after her husband's death in Iraq, Kelly, a young therapist, confronts his identical-twin gay brother, Peter, who shows up at her apartment unannounced. Trying to make sense of what is left behind, Christopher Shinn's remarkable tale of loss and how two very different people handle their grief is personal, intimate even, yet its themes could not be more all-encompassing and its emotional impact more affecting. In this subtle and revealing play, Shinn is able to take the political and humanize it, transforming the stuff of daily news stories into a devastating statement on the unforeseen and often hidden consequences of war. Directed by Ralph Hyman.
