The Pillowman

By Martin McDonagh.

In a fictionalised totalitarian state, Katurian Katurian writes stories that both captivate and horrify in equal measures.  When these works of dark fantasy begin to become hideous reality Katurian is hauled in by two sardonic secret policemen who resort to increasingly absurd methods of interrogation to uncover the truth.  Real life is not as black and white, good or bad as it in in fairy tales.  The Pillowman will take you into a world of grey in which you are never too sure if you should be laughing, crying or both. With an astonishing blend of horror and comedy The Pillowman won the 2005 Olivier Award for Best New Play.
