Share your thoughts on DYING CITY

Our Chicago Premiere of Dying City is really getting audiences talking! As you may know, every Sunday matinee is followed by an in-depth talkback. They are always popular, and for this show, nearly our entire audience stayed to discuss this emotionally riveting production.
It's clear this show gives you a lot to talk about! Some of the most captivating questions we've heard surround the character's motivations. Why does Peter come to Kelly's house on this night? Did he plan to come? Did he plan to read the emails from his twin brother to her?
And still more address the unique backstory surrounding the unusual twin bond. Though Peter and Craig seem worlds apart, how are they bonded as brothers? What about their lifestyles is more alike than different?
Please share your thoughts on these and any other topics you contemplated, discussed and debated after Dying City. If you haven't yet seen the show, join us soon (perhaps at one of our Sunday matinees) and share your thoughts with us and your fellow audience members!Labels: Dying City

Six of us were privileged to see Dying City last week. The 85 year old active writer in our group was extremely impressed on the way Christopher Shinn was able to slice and dice the unfolding of the story in such a complicated but ultimately coherent manner. It works ultimately due to Jason Loewith's capable direction of two outstanding actors, Nicole Wiesner and Coburn Goss! I saw the inital reading by the two and never before did I see such professional preparation prior to the first go-around. They are real pros! Another couple in our group was taken by the wide swathe that war cuts, beyond those in the military, to those who live and die from afar and in some ways more difficult place. At least a soldier feels he might have a modicum of control and understanding of his plight. Our group hopes this tremendous theatre at such a difficult time fills every seat for the remainder of the run!
