The Pillowman

I have never finished something this fast. Never have I read something like this.

Viciously gruesome, bleak and nerve-wracking, this play is one of its kind. A Police interrogation, A tribute to the original dark fairytales, A homage to the blood-splatter pictures of horror, and yet so very funny! Amazingly structured, this play hits all the right notes.

Kaitlin Haddock

One of my favorite plays written and acted out. (Dates read = unknown but might re-read this soon.)

The Pillowman centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art. -- Publisher's website.
