Being Jack Unterweger
John Malkovich is coming to the Pearl of the West to star in “The Infernal Comedy,” a play about Jack Unterweger. Unterweger was an Austrian serial killer whose autobiography and plays written in prison earned him the admiration of Austria’s intellectuals, who, convinced of his rehabilitation, successfully petitioned for his early release in 1990. Unterweger traveled the world in his new career as a star journalist, but a new trail of dead women soon caught up with him. Malkovich and playwright Michael Sturminger focus on the dichotomies in the charming writer and murderer of women.

So, Tapatios, no complaining please.
