This is one of the best plays I have ever read. Make sure to have time to read this all in one sitting, because you will not be able to put it down! Martin McDonagh is a genius, and I also recommend his other plays and films.

The Pillowman Faber Drama Martin McDonagh 8601300335070 Books Reviews

This is the most incredible thing I've ever read. Once you finish it, I can guarantee you won't forget it. An amazing tale about art and its role.
Great, brilliant play.
Had to read it for World Lit. Usually I hate reading classes but I *loved* this play. It's an easy read. Highly recommend it.
Weird but interesting. A fresh read that makes you more than a little creeped out.
Great reading. If you like McDonagh's other writings, such as In Bruge, Seven Psychopaths, and Three Billboards, you probably will like this.
An incredible play. Moving, and amazingly well written.
I guess i did the reverse of "Burying the lead" there. ("Leading the bury?") This play is a piece of peerless brilliance. I'm buying it today, to read and memorise.

I saw it twice (in the same, final day) at Stage West, in Fort Worth, Texas. I can tell that the brilliance of the play is more than the greatness of the cast/crew/director - and that is higher praise than i can generally allow myself to give.

Emotional, hysterical, terrifying - to list the adjectives would break the spine of a dozen thesauri - and do no good whatsoever.

Read it, or better yet - go see it, if possible. The change it made in me was a profound improvement.

(Sorry if i lay the praise on thick, it is well earned.)
I thank Mr. McDonagh, and the brilliant ensemble [ stagewest . org ] for the best day i've had in years.
