As featured in the New York Times, Matthew Broderick stars in 


SHINING CITY


by Conor McPherson
directed by Ciarán O’Reilly


May 17- July 3, 2016


Shining City is a haunting play, dense with urban lives that brush against one another while never making contact. When the character John is first introduced, he is seeking help from Ian, a counselor, after the unexpected death of his wife. Though shaken by the loss, John is troubled by more than just grief; he has begun to see his wife’s ghost in their home.


As their sessions unfold, secrets and lies are exposed in this thriller where a simple tale turns out to be anything but. Shining City reflects on the guilt, anxiety and restlessness of two lonely men creating a tale that the New York Times calls “as close to perfection as contemporary playwriting gets.”


The production of Shining City marks Irish Rep's return to its newly renovated and expanded Chelsea theater.
