Looking for scary Halloween fodder to read the little kiddies tonite? Don't read "The Pillowman".

(Reprinted posts from 10/13/08)

I finished Martin McDonagh's "The Pillowman". Without a doubt, one of the most warped, detestable, screwed up, sick plays I've read. LOVED IT. I wouldn't suggest it for children under the age of 12. And certainly not to a child who might be prone to killing small animals and such.

I'm currently working on a full-length play that may well be considered as equally detestable (I'm not comparing myself to McDonagh in any way). The subject matter, I mean. Some interesting the similarities in plot points.
