Normal

DC Arts Center
2438 18th Street NW Washington

The play, by one of the leading lights of England's "In Yer Face" movement, is a controversial, unflinching and morbidly funny look into the mind of Peter Kurten, the notorious Dusseldorf Ripper, on trial for multiple macabre murders. Kurten's story was the basis for the Fritz Lang movie "M," and the play itself was adapted into the 2009 film "Angels Gone," released in the Czech Republic.

"...If horror suits your taste, then the small Molotov Theatre Group may be your bucket of blood. The hour-long creeper “Normal” is on display in the closet-sized District of Columbia Arts Center, and it’s one of those elegantly written anatomies of a demented serial killer — in this case, Peter Kurten (a.k.a. the Vampire of Dusseldorf)."

In 1931, Peter Kurten terrorized Germany with little reason. Other than it sexually gratified him. Trolling Dusseldorf, he raped, beat, and murdered without prejudice. Men, women, and children. No one was safe from his bloodlust.
