What is THE PILLOWMAN?

THE PILLOWMAN is McDonagh's exhilarating and viciously funny new comedy-drama about a fiction writer who is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories, and their similarities to a number of bizarre incidents occurring in his town.

THE PILLOWMAN had its world premiere on November 13, 2003 at The National Theatre, where it quickly became one of the most sought after theatrical events in London's West End. It received the 2004 Olivier Award and an Evening Standard Award nomination for Best New Play. THE PILLOWMAN made its critically acclaimed US premiere on April 10, 2005 at the Booth Theatre in New York starring Jeff Goldblum and Billy Crudup. McDonagh's heart pounding drama received 6 Tony nominations, including Best Play.

"THE SEASON'S MOST EXCITING AND ORIGINAL NEW PLAY.
'The Pillowman' is A SPELLBINDING STUNNER OF A PLAY, and THIS BRILLIANT PRODUCTION, filled with successive coups de théåtre, DAZZLES WITH A BRIGHTNESS NOW LARGELY ABSENT FROM BROADWAY. APPALLINGLY FUNNY, ENDLESSLY QUOTABLE, DELICIOUS AND WONDROUS, 'The Pillowman' is, above all, about THE THRILLING NARRATIVE POTENTIAL OF THEATER ITSELF."
- Ben Brantley, THE NEW YORK TIMES
