In The Danish Widow, a mystery unfolds against an international backdrop as a female insurance investigator finds herself battling wits with the formidable title character. John Patrick Shanley-the Tony, Pulitzer and Oscar-winning author of Doubt, Moonstruck, and last season's Outside Mullingar-returns to the Powerhouse with his newest play, which he describes as "disturbing, funny, deadly serious, sexy - like a Hitchcock film with a modernist edge."
