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.

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.
