The Pillowman| Studio One, UNSW
| 13th - 17th September, 2016 | Written by Martin McDonagh | Directed by James Ong | Produced by Louise Reily “Do all little boys of my age hear such sounds of abomination nightly?”
“No, my darling. Only the extraordinarily talented ones” Katurian, a writer, is being interrogated over a series of child murders that bare a shocking resemblance to some of his works. Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman is a highly controversial yet award winning work that alternates between Katurian’s interrogation and the storytelling of his macabre and horrific fairytales. It explores the beauty in horror and pain and how one’s childhood leaves an everlasting impact on their ability to communicate and truly express themselves. |
