Chicago Street Theatre Presents THE PILLOWMAN

By Martin McDonagh, Directed by Jonni Pera and Traci Brant. What is the true nature of story-telling and where lies the line between fact and fiction? This is an unsettling and exhilarating black comedy.

Please be advised. Not for young or sensitive viewers. Adult content including mature subject matter, language, and violence.

With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and The Brothers Grimm, THE PILLOWMAN centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.
