Synopsis
Book by Christopher Shinn
Press Reviews
"Frightening, sensual, and moving… Shinn has a delicate touch, combining a well-observed picture of the characters’ lower-middle-class background with a poignant awareness of their stress."
— The Independent
"A haunting, subtly constructed play… [The Coming World] tackles big themes – the nature of truth and love – with a deceptively light touch… Shinn creates a sense of loss and lost opportunities that is deeply affecting."
— The Telegraph
