A writer is interrogated about his nightmarish short stories and their similarities to a number of murders occurring in his town. When the writer’s mentally impaired brother is also brought in for questioning, this police procedural takes twists and turns that will leave you spellbound. Widely regarded as one of the greatest plays of the past 25 years, The Pillowman examines the role of the artist in society and asks what price do we pay for freedom of expression. Winner of the 2004 Olivier Award for Best New Play.
