A brilliant, haunting play from the multi-award winning author of The Weir.
Ian has left the priesthood to become a therapist. John is one of his first clients. John's wife has been killed in a car accident, and he keeps receiving visits from her ghost. John, with Ian's help, starts to recover. But what begins as an unusual encounter becomes a desperate struggle between the living and the dead – a struggle which will shape and define both of them for the rest of their lives.
Shining City premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in June 2004.
