The Pillowman at Madison Street Theatre

The ghoulish pleasure of a well-told "scary story" reaches its pinnacle in The Pillowman, a shocking and disconcerting play birthed from the mind of Martin McDonagh (In Bruges). Set in an interrogation room within an unnamed totalitarian state, the story follows the fiction writer Katurian who is under the interrogation of two detectives. A string of child murders have plagued the city and the main suspect is none other than the author himself -- whose short stories bear a striking similarity to the gruesome crimes. Both horrifying and humorous, this riveting new production places you at the center of its disturbing world with a fully interactive theater experience. You won't want to miss out on all of the The Pillowman's scares and laughs as this black comedy unfolds before your very eyes at Oak Park's Madison Street Theatre.
