"The Pillowman" Cast List

Here's another email from my pal Ryan Hardiman, who's even busier than I thought! He writes:

I auditioned for Charleston Stage Company's production of The Pillowman last week and was cast as Katurian. We had our first read-through last night... I can't wait.

The Pillowman is an exhilarating and vicious comedy-drama about a fiction writer in a totalitarian state who is interrogated when a number of bizarre incidents occurring in his town resemble the gruesome content of his short stories. When the writer's mentally impaired brother is also brought in for questioning by two the police procedural takes unforeseen twists and turns.

This thriller was one of London's hottest tickets when it premiered in 2003 and carried the same dynamic to Broadway in a production starring Jeff Goldblum, Billy Crudup and Zeljko Ivanek. The play received the 2004 Olivier Award and an Evening Standard Award nomination for Best New Play and went on to capture two Tony Awards (plus four more nominations), two Drama Desk Awards, an Outer Critic's Circle Award and a Drama Critics Circle Award.
