Shining City

The appearance of a ghost in contemporary Dublin plunges a former priest into the chasm between spirit and flesh.

Nominated for 2 Tony Awards, Shining City is set in present-day Dublin. A man seeks help from a counselor, claiming to have seen the ghost of his recently deceased wife. However, what begins as just an unusual encounter becomes a struggle between the living and dead-a struggle that will shape and define both men for the rest of their lives. In this contemporary ghost story, Conor McPherson explores what it means to lose faith-in God, in relationships and in one's self.
