Katurian is an author. He writes novels about the torturing and murdering of children and a series of horrifying crimes has put him and his brother Michal in the authorities’ limelight. During a dramatic interrogation and in the brother’s cell, McDonagh reveals a macabre universe about brotherly love, upbringing, idealism and carving. This provocative play is a fairytale writing for a new era: hard realistic poetry added a good portion of black humour. Impressive dramatics! Nominated for a 2004 Laurence Oliver Award for best new play.
