The Pillowman

“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.” –Act II“Comedies don't come any blacker than "The Pillowman," the spellbinding stunner of a play by Martin McDonagh…The laughs…are the kind that trail into gulps and gasps…Yet for all its darkness of plot and imagery, "The Pillowman" - which won the Olivier Award in London for best new play…dazzles with a brightness now largely absent from Broadway… What "The Pillowman" is about, above all, is storytelling and the thrilling narrative potential of theater itself.” —Ben Brantly, The New York TimesFunny, but for mature audiences.
