Daniel Masterson stars as Ariel, a tough guy cop who interrogates Spencer Elliott, who plays the lead role of Katurian in the wickedly dark play The Pillowman. Written by Martin McDonagh and directed by Wabash Theater Professor Michael Abbott, The Pillowman is gripping, intense, and not for the faint of heart.

Playng Ariel, a tough guy cop, Dan Masterson uses brutal force and intimidation in his interrogation of suspected murderer Katurian, played by Spencer Elliott, in the Wabash College Theater production of The Pillowman.

The Pillowman is not for the faint of heart — the scenes are intense, the language is graphic, and the performances are stunning. James Gross' scene design allows the audience to look directly into the interrogation room.
