The Pillowman was staged according to the play having the same title by modern Irish playwriter Martin McDonagh -the winner of two ‘Tony Awards”, "Olivier" and "Oscar". His dramaturgy is very similar to the cinema narrative, which offers a rapid change of situation, detective development and tangled intrigue. The play The Pillowman starts with the scene of the interrogation. The main character - talented writer Katurien, was arrested by detectives Tupolsky and Ariel because the brutal violence described in his stories were very similar to the realistically committed murders of children that had recently taken place. With the establishment of the truth, the feeling of sinking in the viscous nightmare is getting stronger ... it turns out that the writer's brother - Michelle - is disabled, their late parents - fanatics, maniacs and sadists, detectives - are the hostages of their past…

It may seem to many that McDonagh 's play is far from our reality, but this is a play in which everyone sees his/her own personality, own biography and life and it will surely make you think about where do so many childhood traumas come from?! You will discover, that the beloved parents only raised you as a victim, or worse - some of you - even as oppressors?! You will think over, that a murderer of six people can be innocent?! You will notice how it is difficult to adapt to novelties and how people distinctive and different from others are irritating to you?! You will realize, that the only thing you should love God is that he has a favorite and one day you can be that favorite?!

And generally, you will find out, that “Happy End” is a big lie! There is no happy ending in life!
