Shining City - Acting Edition

Shining City has been an unqualified critical success and quite possibly Conor McPherson s finest work. In Dublin, a man seeks help from a counselor, claiming to have seen the ghost of his recently deceased wife. But what begins as just an unusual encounter becomes a struggle between the living and dead a struggle that will shape and define both men for the rest of their lives.

Also included here is the one-act, Come on Over, about a Jesuit priest sent to investigate a miracle in his hometown, where he re-encounters the woman who loved him 30 years before.

Conor McPherson was born in Dublin, Ireland, where he still lives. His plays include This Lime Tree Bower, St. Nicholas, The Weir, Port Authority and Dublin Carol.
