The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh
at the Gamm Theatre in Pawtucket,RI
January 24- February 24

From award-winning Anglo-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, a viciously funny and seriously disturbing tale in which humor and pathos take center stage. In an unidentified totalitarian state, Katurian—a butcher by day, a writer of haunting fairy tales by night—faces a pair of interrogators from the local police force. It is his stories that have landed
Katurian in prison, since the grisly child-murders described in his fables have inspired a string of copycat crimes. As the police resort to increasingly absurd and unconventional methods to crack the case, Katurian's stories come to life, blurring the line between fact and fiction, truth and storytelling. With dark humor and spellbinding narrative, McDonagh explores the dark corners of the human imagination and the delicate balance between individual freedom and security of the state.
