NEXT PRODUCTION
The Pillowman
by Martin McDonagh
15th to 19th September 2009 at 7:30pm
A writer in a totalitarian state is arrested and interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a number of child-murders that are happening in his town.
Martin McDonagh’s blacker-than-black comedy, The Pillowman, was premiered in 2003 at the National Theatre in a production featuring David Tennant and Jim Broadbent which won the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2004. Martin McDonagh’s previous plays include The Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Lonesome West, The Cripple of Inishmaan and A Skull in Connemara. He has also written and directed the Oscar winning short film Six Shooter and the Oscar nominated film In Bruges.
Please note: Warning: The Pillowman is a viciously funny, black comedy, a seriously disturbing tale reccomended for over 16s only. Contains scenes of violence and very strong language that may offend. Definitely not for the faint-hearted!
