"The Pillowman" The Weekend Theater
A kind of macabre fable, The Pillowman is a viciously funny and savage play which tells the tale of Katurian, a fiction writer living in a police state, who is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories, and their similarities to a number of bizarre incidents occurring in his town. A detective story which takes unforeseen twists and turns, the production won the Drama Critics Circle Award and the Olivia Award for Best Play, and two Tony Awards. In style, The Pillowman is somewhere between the Brothers Grimm and Quentin Tarantino, with stories which return to the nightmare quality embodied in the world's original fairy tales. Dealing with the dangers of recognizing and dealing with child predators, this is not a play for children or for those easily upset by stage violence. Directed by Alan Douglas.
Fridays and Saturdays, curtain times are at 7:30pm, for special Sunday showings (Musicals only) curtain times are at 2:30pm.
Tickets: $14.00 ($10.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Dramas and $18.00 ($14.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Musicals.
