About this show
Gacy was one of the most prolific serial killers in US history. Between 1972 and 1978 in Chicago, he was responsible for the rape, torture and murder of at least 33 innocent teenage boys and young men. He became known as the Killer Clown due to his public performances as a clown prior to his crimes. In this theatrical piece, his story is told from his own perspective in chilling, vivid and unrelenting detail. This production is in memory of the 33 who died at the hands of a 'devil in disguise'.
