"Originally produced in London last spring at the Royal Court Theatre, Dying City tells the story of Kelly, a young therapist whose husband dies while on military duty in Iraq.  A year later, her husband's identical twin brother arrives unexpectedly at Kelly's door, seeking solace -- and answers to the mystery of his brother's death," as LCT notes state.  James McDonald (A Number) directs.

The play will have sets and costumes by Anthony Ward, lighting by Pat Collins and sound design by Guy Sherman/Aural Fixation.

Brooksher, who is making her LCT and off-Broadway debut, is a 2005 graduate of Juilliard.  She has appeared at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, The Guthrie Theatre and was in the CBS TV series, "Love Monkey."
