WHERE DO WE LIVE and other plays
“Chris Shinn explores politics and ethics without moralizing and finds justice and beauty in intimate life, keenly observed and rendered scrupulously, unapologetically, fearlessly. These plays are important and utterly original. I admire his work enormously.”
— Tony Kushner
A collection of five plays:
The Coming World
“Frightening, sensual, and moving.” – Rhoda Koenig, Independent
Other People
“Shinn writes with graceful compassion about people trapped inside their own skins unable to make sense of their lives.” – Michael Billington, Guardian
Four
“Crackling with tension and intelligence.” – Francine Russo, Village Voice
Where Do We Live
“A startlingly accurate theatrical appraisal of the way we live now.” – Charles McNulty, Village Voice
What Didn’t Happen
“Articulate, subtle… Shinn’s artistry lies in his textured characters and how their conflicts simmer just below the surface.” – Robert Dominguez, Daily News
