Lily Allen's metamorphosis into a theater actress is so interesting to me. She *really* seems to have left behind the poofy-skirted, big-sneakered pop singer, which is probably pretty hard to do -- I imagine a lot of people in the UK especially had a hard time divorcing her from "Smile." Anyway! She is starring in a production of a 2003 Martin McDonough play that is, per [the Wikipedia synopsis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%5FPillowman?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), DARK AS HELL?!?!? She's in the lead role -- originated on the West End by none other than David Tennant -- and I BELIEVE is only the second woman to take on the part. And no, she is NOT playing a sexy widow who murdered her third husband because he was going to gamble her cosmetics empire, but I can understand that misapprehension.
