In the 20th year since Cobain’s famous suicide, Shiner takes us back to the darkly humorous and terrifying world of teenagers who discover a spiritual connection to grunge rock and, despite all odds, each other.
Written by up-and-coming American playwright Christian Durso, Shiner tells the story of one the biggest tragedies of the modern music industry, and the profound effect it had on the young people of the 1990s. Shiner introduces us to two Los Angeles suburban thirteen-year-olds, who, in the spring of 1994, vow to make the biggest decision of their lives – and perhaps the last.

But everything changes on April 5th when lead singer Kurt Cobain violently takes his own life, turning their world completely upside down.
