The Pillowman
Directed by Jeremy McCowatt
A writer in a totalitarian state is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a number of murders that are happening in his town. What starts as a routine murder investigation soon turns into a nightmare journey to the very edge of reason – ultimately leading to a place worse than hell, a crime worse than murder and a fate worse than death.
THE PILLOWMAN is many things: a tale of suspense, an analysis of institutionalized violence, a dark fairy tale, a biting black comedy and a profoundly moving paean to human resilience in the face of unimaginable odds. Yet one thing it is not: it is not for kids.

“McDonagh’s least forgiving, bravest play” — Variety
“Thoroughly startling and genuinely intimidating “ — The Chicago Tribune
“Unsettling and exhilarating” — The New York Times
“A complex tale about life and art, about fact and illusion, about politics, society, cruelty and creativity” – The Financial Times
“Sometimes you don’t even know what you’ve been craving until the real thing comes along.“ – New York Times
“McDonagh is more than just a very clever theatrical stylist. His tricks and turns have a purpose. They are bridges over a deep pit of sympathy and sorrow, illuminated by a tragic vision of stunted and frustrated lives.“ – Fintan O’Toole, Irish Times
