Abstract:
Martin McDonagh’s transition from his regional Leenane Trilogy (1996-1997) and Aran Island plays (1996-2001) to The Pillowman (2003) marks a significant departure in his dramaturgical approach. The absence of a specified geographical location in The Pillowman challenges traditional notions of place in theatre. While space is fundamental in constructing meaning, Anne Ubersfeld suggests that plays offer socio-cultural coordinates rather than literal representations. In The Pillowman, McDonagh explores power dynamics within an unspecified totalitarian state, highlighting the tensions between offi

Abstract:
Abstract Through an analysis of Martin McDonagh’s play The Pillowman, this article explores the roles children play as avatars of futurity and tragic personages whose actions bid us to reflect on repetitive patterns of suffering. To this end, I suggest that we might productively engage with The Pillowman through the dramaturgical structures of tragedy, particularly insofar as tragedy revolves around catastrophic events in the family. While most previous scholarship on The Pillowman has focused on the protagonist, Katurian, and his social or moral obligations as an author, my work places the ch

Abstract:
Postmodernism is among the most discussed subjects in contemporary world. Despite the criticism, postmodernism has been thriving in many different subject areas after modernism’s failure in keeping its promise for a “better life”. This paper mainly aims to examine and discuss devices and techniques used in the 2003 play The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh in the light of postmodernism. This study will examine postmodernist features and devices such as intertextuality, narratives/grand-narratives, black humor, metafiction, hyperreality, self-reflexivity, irony, paranoia, fragment

Abstract:
The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh and 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane are psychological plays that deal with the relationship between Art, Death and Morbidity. Death is an artistic solution to put an end to the morbidity of attitude caused by toxic relationships, social conventions, and totalitarian institutions. Death, may it take form of suicide or murder, is presented as a Saviour to escape the torture, suffering, depression and tyranny. Art is the creative realm of death, a defensive tool or a protective shield against the repressed uneasy traumatic memories that causes extreme unpleasure. The

Abstract:
When receiving the plays of the British-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, the reader and viewer pays attention to the presence of episodes that go beyond the objective artistic reality of the characters. Thus, in the play “The Pillowman”, published in 2003, two spaces are clearly distinguished: the world in which the main events unfold (the writer ends up in a police station and is accused of a series of murders) and the fictional space of the writer’s seven stories, or embedded narratives. It is important to note that the boundaries between the two worlds are moving, since the characters acti

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>戲劇學研究所<br>101<br>As a metafictional play, Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman consists of numerous puzzles and twists that make the play itself as a work of narrative art. By using and amending existing theories of narrative, philosophy of art, and polyphonic novel, this research attempts to point out how The Pillowman illustrates these discourses through which we enter into the significance of its multiple structures and stories, and the relation between the two. In terms of structure, this thesis, by applying narrative theories, confirms multiple narrators’ presence and function
