CONWAY — M&D Playhouse will be holding auditions for “The Pillowman” by playwright and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Martin McDonagh, as directed by Rich Russo, at 1857 White Mountain Highway in North Conway on Sunday, Feb. 18 and Sunday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m.

With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, "The Pillowman" centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.
