The Pillowman

The Pillowman is a jet-black comedy by Irish playwright / screenwriter Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths).

The play won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2004.

Set in a police interrogation room in a totalitarian state, a writer is questioned over the content of some short stories which bear an uncanny similarity to real-life murders.

This provocative piece uses razor sharp dialogue, comedy and modern absurdism to have the audience laughing hysterically at the most inappropriate of times.
