About the project:
Director of Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman presented by Headwall Theatre March and April 2025.
Synopsis:
The Pillowman, by Martin McDonagh, is a viciously funny, seriously disturbing play about a writer in a totalitarian state who is interrogated by two brutal detectives about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a number of murders that are happening in his town. This leads to a complex exploration of the relationship between art, violence, and the nature of creativity, while also raising questions about the power of the state to control artistic expression.
