The Pillowman, Theatre Ste-Catherine, Montreal, Thurs 22 Oct - Sat 31 Oct. 2009

Author: Christina - Published 2009-09-03 21:06 - (3220 Reads)

FALLEN ANGEL SLEEPS WITH THE PILLOWMAN

Fallen Angel Productions presents The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh,
“Undoubtedly the most acclaimed playwright of his generation.”

Are you prone to nightmares?

The Pillowman speaks to fears people incorrectly think they have long left behind. In this dark and twisted world, faint lines between reality and fiction force us to face the dangerous power of literature. The Pillowman resurfaces the significant point that in a good story one should never be able to tell what happens next. It is saying to me, on the surface I am saying this, but underneath the surface I am saying this other thing. Tupolski, The Pillowman

Directed by Frances Balenzano The Pillowman features: Shawn Baichoo, Rick Bel, Brad Carmichael, Timothy Diamond, and Cristina Vincent.

MONTREAL FRINGE FESTIVAL PLAY

Based on True Feelings


What happens when no one understands you? When the system fails you? When you find yourself medicated, incarcerated and looking at society from the outside? Jesse Heffring has been working with at-risk youth whose lives have been deeply affected by their disorders, and perhaps more affected by the treatments for those disorders. But their strength and resilience is inspiring, and has led to the collaborative creation of an original two act play.
