How to get The Pillowman tickets as West End show opens in June 2023
For a limited time only, watch the critically acclaimed play The Pillowman in London’s West End. Here’s how you can get tickets.
It’s been two decades in the making, but Martin McDonagh’s Olivier award-winning play The Pillowman is coming to the West End this June.
You’ll recognise playwright and director McDonagh from his blockbusters like In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, and the brand-new The Banshees of Inisherin.
Now, McDonagh’s play The Pillowman is coming to The Duke of York’s Theatre in the West End for a limited run. It’ll be directed by Matthew Dunster, of Hangmen and A Very Very Very Dark Matter, and has an all-star cast, including Lily Allen and Steve Pemberton.
Lily Allen made her stage debut in 2:22 - A Ghost Story, and now she’s back in the West End in 2023. Speaking about both Lily Allen and Steve Pemberton, McDonagh said: “I am a huge admirer of both Steve Pemberton and Lily Allen – their intelligence, their wit, their fun – and having Lily play Katurian, the first time this role has been played by a woman in an English-speaking version, is just so, so exciting to me.”
Commenting on the play itself, McDonagh also said: “I'm thrilled that The Pillowman is finally making its West End premiere. It's a play that's always been very close to my heart, in terms of its combination of dark comedy with its exploration of the nature of story-telling itself and the role of the artist in society.”
And, boy, has the West End premiere been a long time coming! The original version, starring David Tennant, received critical acclaim at the Royal National Theatre, then went on to perform a season on Broadway with an American cast.
