The Pillowman:
Progress Theatre Company

In an oppressive police state, an author is dragged in for questioning following a series of brutal child murders that mirror his stories. The good cop/bad cop antics of his interrogators mask a dark undertone as the author is pressured into revealing the events of his own childhood that inspired his writing. Disturbing, hilarious and thought-provoking in equal measure, The Pillowman premiered at the National (starring David Tennant) and won two Tony Awards and an Olivier Award for McDonagh before he went on to write and direct the Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning In Bruges.
