The Pillowman

By Martin McDonagh
Directed by Brian Tanner
March 3 – 5 and 10 – 12

Katurian, a writer, is arrested for child murders that resemble his short stories. As the play unfolds, we learn that his stories are semi-autobiographical, inspired by the torture of his brother by his parents. He must fight to keep his work and life from being destroyed in the face of these revelations from his past. The play received the 2004 Olivier Award for Best Play, and two Tony Awards.
