Too close for comfort
The Toledo Repertoire Theatre continues their Edgy Rep series on February 2 with a play which really walks the edge of morbid comedy. Irish playwright, Martin McDonagh's critically acclaimed play, The Pillowman, explores the darker side of human imagination, government authority and nature. The story is about a writer named Katurian Katurian whose plot lines are shockingly similar to the true story of a series of local child murders. As two detectives interrogate Katurian the play delves into some of his brutally graphic stories and Katurian is left to defend his creative freedom. Due to mature subject matter and strong language, this production is not suitable for young audiences or those easily offended. 8pm. $10. UT Center for Performing Arts, 2801 W. Bancroft Ave. 419-243-9277. www.toledorep.org—JG
