Martin McDonagh’s Tony and Olivier Award-winning play The Pillowman receives its West End premiere at the Duke of York’s Theatre in 2021.
Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nocturnal Animals, Kick-Ass film series) and Steve Pemberton (The League of Gentlemen, Killing Eve, Inside Number 9) star in this electrifying dark comedy, directed by Matthew Dunster (Hangmen).
Examining the role of the artist in society and the price of freedom of expression, The Pillowman is considered to be one of the greatest plays of the past 25 years.
