 /event/detail/441649207/The_Pillowman\nEvent Date Begin: 2012-08-10\nEvent
  Date End: 2012-08-18\n\nArt and authority come head-to-head this August a
 s Flat Earth Theatre stages its final production of the 2012 season\, The 
 Pillowman\, at The Factory Theatre in Boston's historic South End. Written
  by noted Irish playwright Martin McDonagh\, The Pillowman examines the co
 mplex relationship between the artist and the state\, and ponders the culp
 ability for acts inspired by works of art.\n\nIn the confines of an interr
 ogation room in a totalitarian regime\, writer Katurian bears his responsi
 bility to storytelling under the threat of pain and sacrifice. A resemblan
 ce between his most violent modern fairy tales&mdash\;those depicting muti
 lation and murder of children&mdash\;and several horrific crimes under inv
 estigation casts suspicion on Katurian and his childlike brother Michal. W
 ith the police prepared to go to any lengths necessary to solve the case\,
  the brothers are forced to relive the traumatic events of their upbringin
 g through the lens of Katurian's writings. \n\nPlaywright McDonagh is best
  known as the writer and director of the acclaimed film In Bruges\, and ha
 s authored several noteworthy plays including A Beheading in Spokane\, The
  Lieutenant of Inishmore\, and the Tony Award&ndash\;winning black comedy\
 , The Beauty Queen of Leenane. The Pillowman was awarded the Laurence Oliv
 ier Award for Best New Play in 2004\, and received a 2005 Tony Award nomin
 ation for Best Play. With Flat Earth's production\, director Sarah Gazdowi
 cz embarks on a bold new examination of McDonagh's work\, employing multim
 edia techniques to explore this dark meditation on the opposing roles of a
 rtist and authority. She is joined by puppetmaster Matthew Woellert\, whos
 e visual storytelling illuminates the human core of McDonagh's unflinching
  black comedy\, and gives life to Katurian's microcosmic stories of abuse 
 and imagination.\n\nStart time: 8 PM Th\, Fri\, & Sat\; 2 PM Sun
