Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Shining City
by Conor McPherson
Directed by Paul Wells
Dublin. Ireland. A man named John walks into a therapist's sparse office, terrified: he's seen the ghost of his wife, killed weeks earlier in a car crash. His new therapist Ian — a former priest who's abandoned the church, his faith, and the mother of his child — has demons of his own. Over the course of a year, their sessions become a gripping excavation of guilt, grief, and the unfinished business we carry with the dead. McPherson's Tony-nominated masterwork is quietly devastating, blending the natural and supernatural into something that will haunt you long after its heart-stopping final moment.
