What is THE PILLOWMAN about?
THE PILLOWMAN is a dark, twisty, and utterly unforgettable masterpiece from one of Ireland’s most renowned playwrights, Martin McDonagh. In an interrogation room in an unnamed totalitarian dictatorship, fiction writer Katurian is being questioned.
A series of brutal and barbaric child murders have haunted the silent town, and they all resemble the authors' unsettling short stories. Already the police’s prime suspect, things take a turn for the worse when Katurian's brother Michal confesses and implicates Katurian in the process. Knowing that execution is just around the corner, can Katurian manage to save his stories, and himself, from destruction?
