Description

The play follows John, a grieving widower who seeks help from Ian, a troubled therapist, after claiming to be visited by the ghost of his late wife. As their sessions unfold, both men are forced to confront guilt, loneliness, and the fragile boundaries between reality and the supernatural. Blending quiet humor with psychological tension, Shining City explores the lingering presence of the past and the human need for connection in the face of loss.

Directed by Lena Adams
