The Pillowman at ACT 1

There is a murderer of children lurking in the shadows. The two suspects are trying to convince two investigators that they have nothing to do with the crimes. There’s only one problem: Katurian has been writing about hurting and killing kids for years; his brother, Michal, is his biggest fan. Tupolski is a seasoned investigator while his partner, Ariel, is a newer, hungrier, investigator. Both work in a totalitarian police state system. They can’t be permitted to have a killer running loose. They can and will use any method possible to get a confession out of the brothers.
