Master of macabre comedy, Martin McDonagh is once again represented in the West End this summer as his Olivier winning 2003 play, The Pillowman returns in this new revival directed by Matthew Dunster, starring Aaron Talyor Johnson and Steve Pemberton. A 'savagely funny' examination of the role of the artist in society and the price of expression, The Pillowman follows a writer and his brother, who under the shadow of a totalitarian regime, are targeted by the authorities after his grisly short stories appear to be the inspiration for some gory child murders - classic McDonagh, then.

Described as a mesmerising piece of theatrical magic, Katy Rudd and Joel Horwood's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2013 novel was a huge hit at the National Theatre over Christmas last year and now returns to cast its spell over the West End in 2021 when it transfers to the Duke of York's Theatre in October. A fantastical adventure that follows two young friends as they set out to defeat nefarious supernatural forces, it's Gaiman on fine form, brought to life by breathtaking effects, puppetry and more!
