In a bleak, unnamed totalitarian state, fiction becomes a matter of life and death.When short story writer Katurian is hauled in for questioning, the authorities reveal that a series of gruesome child murders bear an uncanny resemblance to his disturbing tales. As the interrogation unfolds, truth and imagination intertwine in ways that are as darkly funny as they are horrifying.
Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman is a masterwork of black comedy and moral unease — a chilling, provocative, and unexpectedly tender exploration of the stories we tell and the monsters they create.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play, this is theatre that shocks, unsettles, and stays with you.
