Pensacola Little Theatre Presents ''The Pillowman''

Description

Pensacola Little Theatre's Studio 400 Series is excited to announce a modern psychological thriller, The Pillowman, by Martin McDonagh, October 12-14 and 18-20, 2012. Viciously funny, horrifyingly theatrical and packed with adrenaline pumping narrative, The Pillowman is a Brother's Grimm tale for the twenty-first century. It's the perfect Halloween production. The Pillowman is the 2004 Olivier Award Winner and a 2005 Tony Award Nominee for Best New Play and is stylistically akin to American Psycho, with the suspenseful twists and turns of The Silence of the Lambs. The Pillowman tells the tale of Katurian, who writes twisted fiction stories. He is living in a police state and is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a number of bizarre murders occurring in his town. When Katurian's mentally impaired brother Michael is also brought in for questioning, two sardonic secret policemen resort to increasingly absurd and hilariously unconventional methods of interrogation to uncover the truth. This production contains extremely disturbing themes, scenes and language that may easily offend. Not suitable for all audiences or children. Rated R. The Pillowman will be performed October 12-14 and 18-20, 2012. Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for General Admission and $17 for Café Seating. Purchase tickets online at PensacolaLittleTheatre.com, by phone at 850-432-2042 or in person at the Box Office.
