    MacTheatre tackles award-winning English playwright Martin McDonagh’s pitch black comedy about brutal murder, family violence, totalitarian regimes, and other childhood fairy tales. Katurian, a writer of grisly short stories often depicting violence against children, has been arrested by two detectives, Ariel and Tupolski, because some of his stories resemble recent child murders. On learning that his brother Michal has confessed to the murders and implicated Katurian, he resigns himself to his execution but attempts to save his stories from destruction. NOTE: THE PILLOWMAN involves adult themes and is intended for mature audiences

          I honestly am writing this less than an hour after I was sitting at McCallum crying. This play was put on extraordinarily well, and I am very proud of all the staff and crew.
