The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer
Laurie Anderson
A cross between chilling crime drama and Baroque opera with live orchestra on period instruments, The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer is based on the life story of twice-imprisoned serial killer Jack Unterweger (played by Malkovich).
A cross between chilling crime drama and Baroque opera with live orchestra on period instruments, The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer is based on the life story of twice-imprisoned serial killer Jack Unterweger (played by Malkovich). Mysteriously back from the grave for an autobiographical book tour, Unterweger oozes disconcerting charm, as he narrates his sordid and shocking history. Each chapter concludes with an aria from Gluck, Mozart, Haydn, Vivaldi and more, sung live by stunning sopranos—all too tempting prospects for Unterweger’s bloodlust.

“It isn’t easy to kill someone every night on stage. And the more people you kill, the harder it gets. Especially when I kill them as terribly as I do in this show.”
— John Malkovich
