The first casualty of war is the truth. Christopher Shinn’s crafty and unsettling new play Dying City seeks that truth in a a quiet, transfixing tale of grief and violence, set in the shadow of the Iraq war.
When an Iraq war widow is unexpectedly visited by her dead husband’s twin brother, the two are forced to explore the repercussions of their loss, confront the secrets of the past, and admit the truth about the tragic legacy that connects them.
