Shining City

“When I got home, there was nothing untoward. Only, I remember now, because I heard it again, there was the sound, the tune of an ice cream van. But there couldn’t have been. Because they don’t go ‘round at night.”

Nov 1 – Nov 18, 2012

Written by Conor McPherson

Directed by Jerome Davis

An Irish ghost story by the author of The Weir, The Seafarer and St. Nicholas. Ian has opened his new office in a hip part of Dublin and is waiting for his first client, John. But when John arrives, he brings with him a story that will challenge everything Ian believes, and alter both men’s lives forever. MATURE LANGUAGE and SUBJECT MATTER.
