REVIEW: Powerful Staging of THE PILLOWMAN by Washington University Performing Arts Department
by Chris Gibson - November 22, 2009
Playwright Martin McDonagh has a knack for crafting pitch black comedies that find humor in the darkest of subjects. In his play, THE PILLOWMAN, he gives us a horror fiction writer trapped in a totalitarian state, who's being interrogated because the content of his gruesome work happens to coincide with a recent string of child murders. This is heavy stuff, but McDonagh mines his material for the unexpected, producing comic genius amidst the madness.
REVIEW: ALISON BROWN QUARTET with JOE CRAVEN Wows Audience at the Sheldon Concert Hall
by Chris Gibson - November 22, 2009
Truly, the real secret to success in life is following your dreams. And, Alison Brown must have been listening when her inner voice spoke to her. How else do you explain someone who graduated from Harvard with an MBA leaving behind a lucrative position at Smith Barney to pursue the banjo? I know that the appreciative audience at the Sheldon Concert Hall (November 20, 2009) was certainly glad she made that career decision.

Washington University Performing Arts Department Presents THE PILLOWMAN Nov 19-22
by BWW News Desk - November 22, 2009
Set amidst a Kafkaesque police state, THE PILLOWMAN opens in a stark interrogation room, where the adult Katurian - a slaughterhouse worker beginning to find recognition as a writer of gruesome fairy tales - sits blindfolded, his brother Michal in the adjoining room. Their interrogators, the outrageously profane good-cop-bad-cop duo of Tupolski and Ariel, suspect that Katurian's stories may not be entirely fiction. And in fact, they do bear remarkable resemblance to a series of grisly child murders that the detectives are currently investigating.
