THEATERMANIA:
"The war in Iraq. The uses and abuses of antidepressants. The reason why Law & Order has stayed on the air for 14 years. All these topics and more are discussed in a mere 90 minutes in Christopher Shinn's engrossing new play, Dying City, which is being given a top-notch production by James Macdonald. But if there's a small problem with the play, it's that only rarely do these subjects, no matter how intelligently or cleverly Shinn tackles them, seem completely organic to the primary tale at hand. The larger problem is that Shinn has essentially written a two-pronged whydunit, with only one why definitively answered."

TIME OUT NY:
" The play’s outline may sound like a soap opera, but its original premise and binary structure evoke a metaphysical, near-allegorical weirdness."
