Written by Conor McPherson – Set in present-day Dublin, Shining City takes place in the disheveled office of Ian, a former priest turned therapist. Ian’s patient is John, a middle-aged man who has recently lost his wife in a tragic accident. John is having trouble sleeping and is desperate for help, but Ian has his own troubles, including a new baby and a crumbling relationship. John soon reveals the source of his insomnia: he’s been visited by the ghost of his dead wife and is now terrified to return home. This contemporary ghost story explores what it means to lose faith—in God, in relationships, and in one’s self.
