The PILLOWMAN

ABOUT

The Pennsylvania State University

The Pillowman centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

This project was my first foray into directing horror. I was excited to stage this production in the round, having characters and sound design appear from any and every corner of the space imaginable.
