THE PILLOWMAN

THE PILLOWMAN

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater

Aug. 31 – Sept. 28, 2024

By Martin McDonagh

Directed by Carl daSilva

A serial killer is on the loose, and several children have gone missing.  But when a writer in this unnamed totalitarian state is interrogated, the police think the gruesome content of their short stories and the similarities to the murders are too close to be a coincidence. Is art a crime, and can story-telling be dangerous? In this extremely dark horror thriller by Martin McDonagh, you may just think so! Exhilarating and thoroughly startling, THE PILLOWMAN is a gripping and unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art itself.
