Synopsis
The Pillowman is a darkly comic psychological thriller that follows a writer brought in for questioning after a string of disturbing crimes begins to echo the brutal content of his fiction. As the interrogation unfolds, the play probes censorship, cruelty, trauma, and the uneasy relationship between imagination and moral responsibility.
