The Pillowman
13th to 20th February 2010
The Pillowman
by Martin McDonagh

Winner of 2004 Olivier Award for Best New Play

A writer in a totalitarian state is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a number of child-murders that are happening in his town. THE PILLOWMAN is a most remarkable new play, a theatrical experience that will leave you simultaneously shocked and amazed. THE PILLOWMAN is funny, touching, shocking, disturbing, terrifying, mesmerising, moving, poetic, original, captivating, dark, stunning.

WARNING: THE PLAY CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE AND SCENES THAT MAY OFFEND SOME AUDIENCE MEMBERS.
