“Chris writes dialogue that’s the easiest I’ve ever spoken, even though it’s the deepest feelings I’ve expressed as a character” – Luke Macfarlane in New York Times
Christopher Shinn is one of America’s most fearless and incisive playwrights, known for his nuanced explorations of power, identity, and human connection in an uncertain world. This third collection of his contemporary plays brings together four of his most provocative works each grappling with the tensions between public and private lives, personal responsibility, and the shifting dynamics of modern society.
Teddy Ferrara: “The play brims with sharply observed ideas about modern life for queer students, the role technology plays in defining our identities, campus politics, journalistic ethics, public sex, the use and abuse of victimhood.” Time Out
An Opening in Time: “Delicately balanced, at times achingly moving... Time and memory weave through the carefully shaped emotional neighborhood of Shinn’s play.” The Berkshire Eagle
Against: “Shinn shows us a society stuck in a spin-cycle, where violence begets yet more violence... a play that practices its preaching; art that attempts to find an alternative.” Variety
The Narcissist: “Gripping. A play that grapples intelligently with the deeply fractured and fractious nature of our times and searches for hope.” Financial Times
