The Pillowman

Kachturian and his mentally disabled brother Michael are citizens of an unnamed totalitarian state who've been taken in for questioning about brutal child-murders that have been happening in their city. Kachturian, an aspiring writer, has penned several short stories that bear a striking resemblance to the murders, and the officers Topolsky and Ariel are convinced that he and his brother are hiding something.
A well paced, intense play that isn't for the faint of heart. The dialogue and the story (and stories with in the play) will both fascinate and horrify you.
