The Norwich Theatre Royal Actors Company have returned to the Playhouse for another week of hot new drama. You can see THE PILLOWMAN  here nightly from Tuesday 19 – Saturday 23 October at 7.30pm.

This viciously funny, seriously disturbing and pitch black comedy - from the writer of award-winning film In Bruges, Martin McDonagh’s -  premièred at the National Theatre in 2003 starring David Tennant, and won the 2004 Olivier Award for Best New Play.

A writer is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a number of child-murders that are happening in his town. The good cop/bad cop antics of his interrogators mask a very dark undertone as the author is pressured into revealing the events of his own childhood that inspired his writing.

Heading the cast is former UEA student Jamie Bower, who will be playing the violent detective Ariel, he will be joined by James Scales, who plays the writer Katurian. Also starring is Norwich-based actor and Theatre Royal arts course tutor Asa Cannell, who plays the writer’s brother Michal, completing the cast is John O’Mahony. Norfolk-born-and-bred Daniel Burgess is also taking the reins of the play as director.

Make sure you check out this unique performance of a very special play, which is guaranteed to have you glued to your seat
