At an astonishingly young age, Conor McPherson has garnered a world-class reputation as one of the most talented playwrights now writing for the English-language theater and has achieved international success with his unerring ear for dialogue and vivid sense of character. Like much of Mr. McPherson's work, Shining City is a ghost story, literally as well as otherwise. In Dublin, a man seeks help from a counselor, claiming to have seen the ghost of his recently deceased wife. But 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.
