The Pillowman centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.

Disturbing plot, simple writing with a lot of interesting repetition, plays with complex themes of legacy, freedom, violence, justice.
