SHINING CITY is the brainchild of Conor McPherson, whose recent work, THE GIRL FROM NORTH COUNTRY, featuring the music of Bob Dylan, premiered on Broadway in 2020 and at the Public Theater in 2018. SHINING CITY last graced New York City in 2016 at the Irish Repertory Theater starring Matthew Broderick. Featuring the music of folk legend Gregory Alan Isakov, the play is set in Dublin, where a guilt-ridden man reaches out to a therapist after seeing the ghost of his recently deceased wife. Wrestling with his own demons, the therapist, Ian, can only do so much to help. Routine visits between the two men quickly become a gripping struggle to survive, changing both of them for the rest of their lives. Hailed by the New York Times as Haunting, inspired and absolutely glorious, this limited engagement officially begins St. Patricks Day, March 17th, and will play Thursday thru Sundays until April 10th. This marks the first show for Everythings a Six Productions.This production is co-produced by Erin McNerney and Sean Ricciardi and is directed and sound designed by Sean Patrick Folster.
