THE PILLOWMANRick Lombardo directs this New Repertory Theatre area premiere of Martin (The Beauty Queen of Leenane) McDonagh's disturbing 2004 Olivier Award winner, in a production that features John Kuntz, Steven Barkhimer, and Phillip Patrone. "The Pillowman tells the hilarious and horrifying story of Katurian, a writer living in a totalitarian state whose ghoulish stories suddenly seem to be blueprints for a series of grisly child murders taking place. As the writer faces interrogation by a good-cop/bad-cop team employing very unconventional techniques, the central question - is an artist responsible for outcomes when life imitates art? - emerges." | Arsenal Center for the Arts
