The Pillowman

By Martin McDonagh

 

Monday-Saturday, October 26-31 @ 8pm

 

With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, THE PILLOWMAN centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art. 

 

Director: Heather Penzo
