The Pillowman — February 2009 (2)
Luke Robbins turns in his finest performance to date in the role of
Michal in the Wabash Theater's production of Martin McDonagh's The
Pillowman. Spencer Elliott plays Katurian, Michal's protective
brother. The play is deeply moving, contains graphic language, and
carries mature themes. The performances are extraordinary and the
subject matter is difficult.
Spencer Elliott (as Katurian) lashes out against his brother Michal
(played by Luke Robbins) in a scene from The Pillowman.
The role of Michal brought out the best in actor Luke Robbins, shown
here in a scene with Spencer Elliott in Director Michael Abbott's
production of The Pillowman.
An indelible image from the Wabash College Theater's production of The
Pillowman, which is directed by Michael Abbott.
Stephen Morillo and Lynne Miles-Morillo couldn't be creepier in their
roles in The Pillowman.
Dan Masterson delivers an excellent performance in his role as the tough
guy cop Ariel in The Pillowman at Wabash College.
Dan Masterson (Ariel) prepares to torture Spencer Elliott (Katurian) in
a gripping scene from The Pillowman.
In his role as Katurian, Spencer Elliott leaves it all on stage — he's a
writer, a murderer, and protector of his brother. He makes the audience
love him, hate him, and fear him over the course of two disturbing hours
of intense theater. His performance in The Pillowman is stunning.
As Tupolski, Matt Goodrich is supposed to be the "good cop," the
thoughtful detective who is investigating a series of child murders. But
he imagines the ultimate torture for a writer — he threatens to burn
Katurian's stories, which he believes have inspired the murders.
Dan Masterson as Ariel is sympathetic to abused children and uses the
full force of his police badge (and then some) to protect children like
the one played by Dione Miles-Morillo in the Wabash production of The
Pillowman.
Spencer Eliott realizes he's no longer in control — of his own fate or
the fate of his beloved stories — in his role as Katurian in The
Pillowman.
Matt Goodrich anguishes on stage in the role of Tupolski in the Wabash
production of The Pillowman, directed by Michael Abbott.
