"Stomach-churning and wildly comic, The Pillowman is Martin McDonagh's most disturbing work to date... There is no conclusion; there are lots of questions. This is a riveting evening."

 Susannah Clapp, Observer

"Anyone familiar with McDonagh's other award-winning plays will know not to treat this as a family outing, or as Granny's Christmas treat. If you feel strong, though, brace yourself for a play of extraordinary power and stunning theatrical bravura."

 Michael Coveney, Daily Mail
