Some stories should never come true.
 

In a totalitarian state, a writer is interrogated when his disturbing fairy tales bear an uncanny resemblance to a series of child murders. As the detectives close in and his brother is drawn into the investigation, the search for answers becomes a desperate fight over whose story (and whose life) will survive.
 

Wickedly funny and deeply unsettling, Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman blends the suspense of a crime thriller with the dark imagination of a twisted bedtime story. Expect savage wit, startling turns and a haunting exploration of family, cruelty and the stories we cannot help but tell.
