A… Paper Tiger by Ison Theatrical Projects
With a powerful theatrical play—a punch in the gut—the newly established production company “Ison” introduces itself to the theater scene.
Paper Tiger, written by Paraskevi Anevlavi and based on the true story of Carl Panzram, which shocked America in the 1920s, aims to shed light on the social factors that perpetuate violence, as well as the dark instincts embedded within human nature. The play sketches the psyche of the perpetrator, marked by cruelty and raw violence, shaped by traumatic childhood experiences that transform him into a serial killer in his adult life.
Are you ready to listen?
Two prisoners.
An interrogator.
One big secret.
The serial killer Carl is captured and confesses his horrific acts to the interrogator Alexander with intense passion and no fear. “I only regret two things. I regret hurting some animals during my life, and that I can’t kill the whole damned human race.”
In prison, he befriends his fellow inmate, Peter, sharing personal experiences and stories. However, at the final hour, a revelation emerges that changes everything.
“Unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Suitable for ages 16 and over.
