From the writer of In Bruges and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri comes a darkly black comedy.

In a shadowy totalitarian state, a writer is arrested and interrogated following a spate of gruesome child killings. His connection to the murders? They closely resemble the plots of his disturbing short stories. Are these copycat crimes or is something more sinister at play? And what drives him to craft such dark tales?

This wickedly funny, twisted masterpiece from Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh explores the blurry line between truth and fiction, and forces us to ask the question – how much power do stories have?

Winner of the 2004 Olivier Award for Best New Play
