The Pillowman

BY MARTIN McDONAGH

Directed by Rob Mason-Brown

Synopsis:

The interrogation of writer Katurian Katurian is taking place. His stories, deranged tales of torture, link him to a string of copycat child murders. As the secret of his childhood is revealed, the mystery unravels, and Katurian discovers how fiction can influence reality. And there will be consequences.

From the writer of In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths, Martin McDonagh’s Broadway hit, The Pillowman, is as dark as black comedy comes. Fusing clever dialogue with grim scenes, the audience will be laughing when they’re not recoiling.

The Pillowman is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

Contains graphic violence, animated violence, coarse language, sexual themes, gunshot.
