[NoHo Arts District, CA] – The Ektelo Theatre Group presents their debut production of Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman, directed Brian Allman, runs April 4-14.
About the Show
The Pillowman is a stunner of a play. In a totalitarian state, a writer is interrogated by the authorities about a series of murders that bear a striking similarity to his work. Is this life imitating art or something more sinister? When the writer’s mentally impaired sibling is also brought in for questioning this police procedural takes spellbinding twists and turns.
This black comedy, widely regarded as one of the greatest plays of the past 25 years, examines the artist’s role in society and asks, what price do we pay for freedom of expression? A hypnotic blend of savagery, suspense, macabre fairytale, and the blackest of gallows humor, The Pillowman is a powerful, potent, and provocative tour de force.
The play originally opened at the Royal National Theatre in London, in 2005 it debuted on Broadway, and in 2023, it was revived in London’s West End. It has received numerous awards and outstanding critical acclaim.
The Pillowman is a fictional play that deals with adult themes of a sensitive nature. Recommended age 16+.
