THE MISSING SHRINK
In Alexis Soloski's detail-filled review of Dying City [ 'Tug of War,' March 1420] she neglects to mention that the character Kelly is a therapist. Why? Because this detail explodes Soloski's assertion that Kelly is a victim. None of the characters in Christopher Shinn's brilliant play are victims. They are all well- intentioned human beings who still seem to perpetrate violence against those they love. To face this truth is to face the violence of today's world. No more denial . . . please.
