THE PILLOWMAN

Katurian is a young writer who’s been taken into police custody because a string of recent murders emulate the plots of his gruesomely violent children’s stories.

Katurian pleads his innocence, but the stories haven’t been published – so who else could it be?

As his guilt is being investigated, Katurian desperately struggles to ensure his work is preserved, no matter what happens to him.

Directed by Ilinca Radulian, “The Pillowman” is a dark and comedic theatrical experience whose character-driven plot comes to life with the skilfully nuanced acting of a four-person cast. Accented by glimmers of dark humor, creative props, and an unusual set, “The Pillowman” creates a haunting world of philosophical and psychological complexity.
