this remains an audacious, wickedly funny work that implicates and wrong-foots the audience throughout. It took nerve to write it, and it takes a strong stomach to watch it.
Evening Standard
Master of macabre comedy, Martin McDonagh is once more represented in the West End as his Olivier-winning 2003 play, The Pillowman returns in this new revival directed by Matthew Dunster, starring Lily Allen 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 her brother, who under the shadow of a totalitarian regime, are targeted by the authorities after her grisly short stories appear to be the inspiration for some gory child murders.
In classic McDonagh style, expect a witty, caustic, and electrifying production that does not shy away from the darker side of life!
