    A writer whose children’s stories are darker than anything the Brothers Grimm ever dreamed up must decide whether his art is worth more than his life in this pitch-black comedy. Arrested after a series of murders mimicking those in his largely unpublished works, Katurian must defend himself and his mentally disabled brother — the only other person to have read most of his stories — against what passes for justice in an unnamed totalitarian state. In this multiple Tony Award-winning play, McDonagh once again offers up his signature blend of domesticity and the macabre in a horrifyingly funny look at the power of the storyteller.

      Review posted by: John mai from San Jose, Oct 15, 2009
