THE PILLOWMAN, a dark dramatic comedy by Martin McDonagh,
NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

Check out the video trailer (http://youtu.be/tKuUgq-0azc) of
convergence-continuum's production of Martin McDonagh’s gruesomely funny
psychological thriller THE PILLOWMAN.

The setting of this dark dramatic comedy is an unnamed totalitarian state
where Katurian, a writer of short stories which often depict violence
against
children, has been arrested by two detectives, Ariel and Tupolski, because
some of his stories resemble recent child murders. When he hears that his
brother Michal has confessed to the murders and implicated Katurian, he
resigns himself to his execution but attempts to save his stories from
destruction. The play includes both narrations and reenactments of several
of Katurian's strange stories, most notably the autobiographical "The
Writer and the Writer's Brother", which tells how Katurian developed his
disturbed imagination.

The Pillowman is directed by convergence-continuum’s Geoffrey Hoffman and
features company actors Robert Hawkes, Tom Kondilas and Stuart Hoffman,
and newcomers to the Liminis stage Daniel McElhaney, Nicole McLaughlin and
Melissa Freilich.

The Pillowman is now onstage Thu-Sat at 8 pm through Oct 18 at the Liminis
theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113. Tickets are $15 general
admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students.  Reservations and info are
available at
http://www.convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.
