Delve into the twisted world of Katurian, a short fiction writer living in a police state. When several children are found murdered in ways strikingly similar to his macabre children’s stories, he finds himself arrested and at the mercy of two detectives. As the clock ticks relentlessly toward his impending execution, Katurian must prove to the police that his only crime is crafting stories—but will they believe him in time?
Comprising narrations and reenactments of several of Katurian’s stories (including the harrowingly autobiographical ‘The Writer and ‘The Writer’s Brother’), this play explores the development of Katurian’s disturbed imagination, along with the impact a troubled past can have on the present.
