One of the New York Times’ top ten plays of 2007, Dying City is a sharply written tale of grief and love by American playwright Christopher Shinn.

Set in the shadow of the Iraq war and the fall of the World Trade Centre, the story unfolds over two nights in a New York apartment.

Peter’s twin brother Craig died serving in Iraq. A year later Peter seeks out his former sister-in-law, Kelly. If he’s hoping for comfort from her, he’s mistaken.

As we jump between this reunion and Craig and Kelly’s final night together a year earlier, we learn that life and grief are never that simple.

This work is a taut two-hander featuring Red Ryder Productions’ founding members Alison van Reeken and Benj D’Addario.
