Second Stage's revival of Dying City, written and directed by Christopher Shinn, opened June 3 in the company's Off-Broadway theatre, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Colin Woodell. Set in a sparse Manhattan apartment, the two-hander explores the human fallout of global events, including the Iraq War and 9/11. The play, which received its world premiere at London's Royal Court in 2006, is the story of a young widow who receives an unexpected visit from the twin brother of her deceased husband.
Performances began May 14 in the Tony Kiser Theater. See what critics had to say about the play below.
