Men & their pillows

But first a word from our sponsor:

The Pillowman is a disturbing and darkly funny new comedy-drama from Martin McDonagh (A Skull in Connemara, The Beauty Queen of Leenane) about a storyteller/writer in a totalitarian state whose macabre fairy tales may be inspiring a series of grisly crimes. A brilliantly bone-chilling exploration of the role of artists and artistic responsibility in contemporary culture.

Winner of the prestigious 2004 Olivier Award in London and nominated for Broadway’s Tony Award for Best New Play in 2005.

Pillowman begins previewing at ACT Theatre in downtown Seattle on Friday March 17th. The show will run only until April 16th with no hope of extension. The final week is expected to sell out, so mark your calendar and get your tickets now!

There are 2 “Pay-What-You-Can” Performances:

For all other performances, you can mention my name to get the “Friends of Shawn” discount, which is half-off any performance except Saturdays. This applies to purchases made in person (Kreielsheimer Place 700 Union St. near the Convention Center) and over the phone (206.292.7676) but not via the Internet.

This is my favorite contemporary play and I can promise you that you will never see another show like this in your life. Our set is amazing—I’ve never seen anything like it—the story is fantastic, Denis Arndt and Bob Wright are F-ing hilarious. And me.. I’m just happy to be here.

I hope you can make it!
