The Pillowman

Czas trwania

2 godz.

An Olivier Award-winning masterpiece by Martin McDonagh, The Pillowman is a brilliant exploration of the horrifying curtailments on free speech in totalitarian police states!

The Pillowman is a dark, twisting, and unquestionably evocative gem of a play from one of Ireland's most cherished authors, drawing on influences as varied as Grimm's Fairy Tales, Kafka, and Antonin Artaud. Penned by the master of absurdist dark comedies and multiple award-winning writer and director, Martin McDonagh, who is known for his work in film and theatre (In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Banshees of Inishereen), The Pillowman is a play you won’t forget anytime soon. Olivier award-nominee Matthew Dunster directs the play.

The Story

Set in a police state which has experienced a mysterious and horrifying string of child murders, The Pillowman is a black comedy unlike any other. Katurian, a writer (played by Olivier Award-winning actress Lily Allen) is brought into police custody and interrogated when their stories seem to have inspired someone to kill the innocent children. But not everything is as it seems to appear. Grab your The Pillowman tickets today!
