Synopsis:
Martin McDonagh has his own unique style of black comedy in
which the grisly details and violent interactions make you wince, or laugh, or
both. The Pillowman won the Laurence Olivier Award and the New
York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for best new play in 2004. The hero, Katurian,
is a writer of gruesome short stories about child murders. When local crimes
duplicate details of his stories, the police come calling. The outrageous
interrogation that follows is set in a “police state,” and the characters have
foreign-sounding names, but the sly humor and soul-shaking desperation belong
very much to McDonagh’s native Ireland.
