Unlock the serial killer's cell door. Lead him in cuffs past the stony guards and the sneering inmates, through the white-washed cellblock to a dingy door in a remote corner of the prison. Tell them that through that door lies a stage, their stage, a platform to tell their story...the story the public never heard...the real story. Tell them that an audience waits to hear them make their case.

You are that audience.

And from that stage the killers who greet you are among the past century's most notorious:

Ted Bundy

The picture of an All-American boy. Charming, soft spoken and handsome. The brutal murderer of at least 28 women.

Genene Jones

A tender and devoted neonatal nurse in whose loving care 47 newborns mysteriously died

Andrei Chikatilo "The Red Ripper"

To compensate for his impotence, the murder of 56 people supplied the erotic charge he could not achieve through sex.

Aileen Wuornos

Heralded by the tabloids as 'America's First Female Serial Killer,' she claims to have killed seven men in self-defense.

Richard Ramirez "The Night Stalker"

Unrepentant, hard-rocking, brutal. He claimed to do the bidding of Satan, outraged the jury with his behavior in court and ended up receiving the death penalty.

"You maggots make me sick - one and all...I am beyond your experience, I am beyond good and evil..."

Richard Ramirez (addressing the court after his conviction)

Mass Murder is true crime at its best, an intense examination of psychopathic denial mixed with chilling confession. It is a window on the soul of the demented and a mirror before the face of the seemingly normal... a savage indictment of society and a testament to justice done.

The Seattle Times praises the "fine acting and occasionally brilliant writing" of Mass Murder and calls it "an intense and, at points, extremely disturbing work" that "achieve[s] a rare squirm factor."

"[T]his is potent theater," Willamette Week raves, "Meyers and his fellow writers give voice to our twisted icons. Far from crazed heroes they are the off-scourings of a brutal culture; mad cousins kept in America's attic. All the monologues are strong."

"[E]ngaging. It's also disturbing," The Oregonian says, "The writers take advantage of this material to get at the key issue - why - and concoct some vivid stage moments onstage."

You are the jury they never got to address.

You decide what is true and what is a lie.

Now it is only you and the killer.
