“I’m just saying - if you know someone is manipulating you, then you should tell them.” This WA premiere is directed by the PTT/EGA Best Director of 2006 and 2007, produced by the team that brought you Dealer’s Choice, A Moment on the Lips, Loveplay and The Mozart Faction (2007 Blue Room Members’ Choice Award). Peter’s twin brother Craig dies whilst serving in Iraq. A year later Peter seeks out his former sister-in-law, Kelly. If he’s hoping for comfort, he’s mistaken. This isn’t an episode of Law & Order; there will be no reassuring closure. Nothing about a death - or a life for that matter - is ever that easy. From public conscience to private grief, Dying City was one of The New York Times’ top ten plays of 2007. “Anyone who doubts that Mr Shinn is among the most provocative and probing American playwrights today need only experience Dying City” - The New York Times Featuring: Benj D’Addario and Alison van Reeken A Pride WA Festival Event, part of the ‘SILVER’ ARTRAGE Festival 25th Anniversary Edition PLEASE NOTE: Saturday 25 October performance has been moved to 5pm due to the PRIDE march.
