Dying City. A play by Christopher Shinn, Lincoln Center Theater at the Mitzi E. Newhouse. This play has nearly everything. It's a heated discussion about life after 9/11, the ongoing Iraq War, and at the center of the play, a two hander played brilliantly by Rebecca Brooksher (a breakthrough performance of searing intensity), and the rising star Pablo Schreiber (who plays twin brothers), are characters who suffer from child abuse, homosexual identity confusion and self-loathing, sexual addiction and self-hatred. In short this play has everything thrown into it including, literally, a kitchen sink, but it unfortunately lacks an essential ingredient - a plot. In the end despite all of these weighty plot themes, "Dying City" stands for nothing, means nothing. We were even more confused leaving this play than those in the bigger theater who were struggling to understand "The Coast of Utopia". Obtuseness and obscurity reigns at Lincoln Center Theater this season. We give this a C- (only for the acting) but this is not a passing grade in the Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test.
