Now Or Later (Royal Court, London, 2008) examines religion, freedom of expression and personal responsibility, focused around a US presidential election.

Four (Royal Court, London 1998) is set on the 4th July public holiday and is about four isolated young people searching for connection.

Picked (Vineyard Theatre, New York, 2011) takes as its centre a young actor who is selected to star in a major movie and the impact this then has on his life and identity.

On The Mountain (South Coast Rep, Costa Mesa, 2005) is about a teenager whose mother is starting out on a new relationship, while both are battling with the memories of the past.

Recenzii

Now Or Later is as potent as David Mamet's Oleanna in its exposure of how liberal creeds can - one way or another - be murkily tied in with intolerance
The play keeps delivering small shocks and aches that end in a standoff, or maybe in that pause between despair, resignation, and a twinge of hope. Haunting.
Surprising nuance and sudden surges of emotion. The play offers several outstanding monologues, some tender, some searing, and one unforgettable
Better than any play I've seen at finding the natural existential anxiety in the frustration and powerlessness of being a movie actor. Offers ample evidence of this dramatist's singular gift for presenting human murkiness with precisely shaded clarity. Impeccably observed.
Shinn opens a window into lives that we rarely see on stage
A playwright who writes with unshowy depth and unforced menace on a challenging subject
Shinn territory is a land of bruised souls sharing awkward silences, their subtext and inchoate impulses placed carefully between them. A dramatist who writes from an intensely interior zone
