The Pillowman Playtext
by Martin McDonagh
'The first duty of a storyteller is to tell a story.' Or was it 'The only duty of a storyteller is to tell a story'?
A writer in a totalitarian state is 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 searingly brilliant play premiered at the National Theatre, London in November 2003. It was revived at the Duke of York's Theatre, London, in June 2023.
