Shining City
a mystery
by Conor McPherson
September 4-21, 2008

NSC opens with celebrated young Irish playwright Conor McPherson’s (The Weir, The Seafarer, Port Authority) quietly haunting psychological mystery, Shining City. A struggling Dublin therapist is treating a man haunted by the ghost of his recently deceased wife, while at the same time the therapist's own relationship teeters on the brink.  This finely wrought tale of urban isolation and connection comes to NSC after its critically acclaimed 2006 Broadway production.

“As close to perfection as contemporary playwriting gets.  I was blown away.  Conor McPherson’s new play is haunting, inspired, and absolutely glorious.”

-The New York Times

“Leave it to a playwright as subtle and perceptive as Conor McPherson to give us a play as troubling and mysterious as life itself.”

-The Washington Post

- to NSC's 2008-2009 Season: "New Stage in the City"
