In a world shrouded in suspicion, a writer’s dark tales become disturbingly real. Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, The Pillowman is a suspenseful play that will challenge your perceptions and keep you guessing until the very end. Martin McDonagh’s masterpiece is a thrilling exploration of truth, art, and the power of storytelling that makes for a haunting and unforgettable production.

This production goes beyond traditional theatre by incorporating a pre- and post-show art exhibition featuring works from local visual artists, including digital illustrators and painters, whose works are vital to the play itself. By providing a platform for these artists to showcase their talents, we aim to uplift and celebrate our diverse community, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and showcasing the richness of Gauteng’s artistic landscape
