Tonight I saw a fantastic production of "The Pillowman" at Berkeley Rep. The play is Martin McDonagh's second work produced under the spot-on theatercraft of The Berkeley Repertory Theater.
McDonagh explores the role of the imagination in creating stories that are more interesting than the simple re-telling of things that happen in everyday life, and the responsibility of the story's creator for a story worth acting out by others who perhaps are only seeking to raise the level of their personal experience out of the humdrum and ordinary.
...and how about Shakespeare and that Pygmie in a box?
