"I just want to have a transaction where some normal rules apply again, you know?"

Epic Theatre Company is proud to present the Rhode Island premiere of a haunting and beautiful story about loss, regret, and the enduring power of passion.

A man goes to see a therapist after he sees the ghost of his dead wife. Little does he know that the therapist is grappling with his own demons. What follows will change both men forever.

"Shining City" by Conor McPherson is a stunning work from one of our finest living playwrights.

Jeff Sullivan directs a cast that includes Thomas Briody, Jim Brown, Melanie Stone (Epic Theatre's "Angels in America"), and Patrick Keeffe ("Compleat Female Stage Beauty").
