Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Malkovich Plays Serial Killer at Barbican in 2011
Malkovich Plays Serial Killer at Barbican in 2011
Date: 12 March 2010
The Barbican Centre’s 2010/11 programme will include the UK premiere of a ‘dramatised concert’ retelling of the life of an Austrian serial killer, starring Hollywood star John Malkovich.
Titled The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer, the show, which takes place in the Barbican Hall on 17 June 2011, is based on the story of Jack Unterweger, who murdered at least 11 prostitutes before committing suicide in 1994. It was first staged in 2008 in Santa Monica, California, with Malkovich in the title role.
Written and directed by Michael Sturminger, it consists of eight monologues interspersed with performances of arias by classical composers backed by a baroque orchestra. It was described as “devastatingly absurd and unnerving” by Variety during its 2009 run in Vienna.
