The Pillowman
By Martin McDonagh
Directed by Steven Woolf
2006-2007 Off-Ramp Season
The Story
In a totalitarian state, a young man—butcher by day, aspiring writer by night—is detained and faces an interrogation by a cruel, corrupt detective about the gruesome content of his lurid fairy tales, the plots of which bear striking similarities to a number of horrific child murders happening in his town. A brutal and tender, viciously funny and seriously disturbing tale about life and art, fact and illusion, cruelty and creativity. Winner of the 2004 Olivier Award and a 2005 Tony Award nominee for Best Play.
