Find EventsThe Pillowman
In a totalitarian state a Writer is questioned by the authorities about a spate of murders that bear similarities to his short stories. Is this life imitating art or something more sinister? 
This black comedy, widely regarded as one of the greatest plays of the past 25 years, examines the role of the artist in society and asks what price do we pay for freedom of expression.
With an all-star cast including Lilly Allen and Steve Pemberton, Matthew Dunster directs the first major revival of Martin McDonagh’s electrifying and savagely funny Olivier award-winning play The Pillowman at the intimate Duke of York’s Theatre for a strictly limited season.

        Not an easy watch, but enjoyable plot twists.13 August 2023 The Pillowman has a very dark subject matter, but accomplished with moments of humour and tenderness. The speed of speech by the actors did convey the emotion, but at times it made it difficult for us to hear the dialogue. John & Kath Confirmed ticket purchaser
