A pitch-black comedy about child murder and totalitarianism might not sound like a perfect weekend outing, but Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman, in an excellent production by APAC, is a thrilling and enjoyable night at the theater. As the play unfolds, a masterful author of macabre children's stories is in police custory for questioning after crimes occur exactly as described in his stories. Ultimately, the author finds that art is made at a heavy cost, free will is fictional, and fate is inescapable. The cast excels with McDonagh's completely original tone: you'll never laugh out loud as much at events this disturbing.
