The Pillowman is a 2003 play by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. It received its first public reading in an early version at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 1995. It tells the tale of Katurian, a fiction writer living in a police state who is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories, and their similarities to a number of bizarre child murders occurring in his town. The play received the 2004 Olivier Award for Best New Play, the 2004-5 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best New Foreign Play, and two Tony Awards for production. It was nominated for the 2004 Evening Standard Award for Best New Play.
Summary
Katurian, a writer of short stories which often depict violence against children, has been arrested by two detectives, Ariel and Tupolski, because some of his stories resemble recent child murders. When he hears that his brother Michal has confessed to the murders and implicated Katurian, he resigns himself to his execution but attempts to save his stories from destruction. The play includes both narrations and reenactments of several of Katurian's stories, most notably the autobiographical "The Writer and the Writer's Brother", which tells how Katurian developed his disturbed imagination by hearing the sounds of Michal being tortured by their parents.

Deathly pale belongs to the sea tells you here's the beginning in the depth of misery you feel the spirit within. A torrent Over a storm tossed tree it's like a rugged stone rolling waves won't let you free because your time is gone. All the damned veiled in grey band together and demand of the pale man who's crossing the way, can't never come back to land. He entrusts himself without taking care to wild seas every day and this old world, world of the sea endlessly he must bear His heart is like an ocean so deep knowing storm, ebb and flow and too many pearls, pearls of the beauty rest in it's depths below. He is one of the creatures of the sea, he's called the palest man he is one of the creatures who can't break free until eternity,
