Irish psych-mystery stages at HART

art hartThe winter theater season continues with the Tony nominated Broadway play “Shining City” that will run at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30-31 and at 3 p.m. Feb. 1 at the Haywood Arts Regional Theatre in Waynesville.

Written by Irish playwright Conor McPherson, the production is a quiet psychological mystery, which opened on Broadway in 2006, where it received two Tony Award nominations, including Best Play. Set in present-day Dublin, a man seeks help from a counselor, claiming to have seen the ghost of his recently deceased wife. However, 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. In this contemporary ghost story, McPherson explores what it means to lose faith-in God, in relationships and in one’s self. 

The Feichter Studio is part of the backstage of the Performing Arts Center at the Shelton House, seats only 65, with reservations highly recommended. 

Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for students. Possible holdover dates are Feb. 6-8.
