Brantley & Isherwood Debate Pillowman, Friday on THEATER TALK

By Popular Demand, we are repeating our much-discussed conversation with BEN BRANTLEY and CHARLES ISHERWOOD of THE NEW YORK TIMES. On this show, originally broadcast in May, they discuss the spring theater season and debate the merits of Martin McDonagh's "THE PILLOW MAN."

Is this popular Broadway drama, as Brantley says, "the most powerful, unsettling and original new play of the season," or does it have, to quote Isherwood, " as much to tell us about the darker passages of experience...as the haunted-house ride at Disneyland?"

Both powerful critics argue the case, Friday night, July 22 at 12:30 AM and again Monday, July 25 at 5 AM on Thirteen.
