The Pillowman at The Warehouse Theatre

Written by Martin McDonagh Directed by Stephen Thorne

A writer in a totalitarian state is interrogated when his dark short stories begin resembling real crimes. What follows is a twisted, funny, deeply disturbing thriller about storytelling, censorship, and the terrifying power of imagination. Equal parts nightmare and dark comedy — and “what did I just watch?” — For the very first time, audience favorites Thomas Azar, Jason D. Johnson, Matt Reece, and Kerrie Seymour join forces in a Warehouse production.

WHY SEE THIS SHOW: An urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art. It has an indelible effect on the audience because the stories that each character tells are so specific and dark that it is impossible to forget them. Add in the current relevance of how a totalitarian regime seeks to squash thoughts that run counter to public opinion and it is an exciting, dangerous, vital night of theater.

Starring a murderer’s row of Warehouse talent including Thomas Azar (THE LEHMAN TRILOGY, APPROPRIATE), Jason D. Johnson (THE CRUCIBLE, RICHARD III), Matt Reece (AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, THE LEHMAN TRILOGY), and Kerrie Seymour (MISERY, APPROPRIATE).
