Guthrie Theater

From four-time Tony Award nominee Martin McDonagh comes this viciously funny and disturbingly gruesome thriller. Set in a mysterious totalitarian state, this shocking play is about a writer brought in for questioning when his stories begin to bear an uncanny similarity to real-life crimes being committed in the community.

This production contains strong language, adult themes and graphic descriptions of violence. Not suitable for children or those who may be easily offended. A gun shot will occur.
