CU Theatre and Dance Presents: The Pillowman
Truth or Fiction? In this spellbinding black comedy, the classic who-done-it
plot is turned on its (severed) head when a writer of gruesome murder stories
is arrested. The play's protagonist is an arrogant man whose 400 short pieces
of fiction - only one published - might be read as a how-to guide of -101 ways
to skewer a 5-year-old.-
