Check out this video filmed during the rehearsal process of "The Pillowman
".
The setting for this extremely provocative black comedy is a decaying prison in an unnamed totalitarian state. When a struggling writer’s stories bear an uncanny resemblance to recent horrific crimes, he is imprisoned, interrogated and tortured to make him confess. To make matters worse, his dim-witted brother is undergoing the same treatment – and just might say anything! Irishman Martin McDonagh is one of the most highly acclaimed playwrights of the 21 st century, famous for his unique blend of humor, horror and humanity. The Pillowman is a challenging fable about the power of words – spoken and written.
Warning: a viciously funny, seriously disturbing tale.
