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

The 1990s have been of utmost importance for Ireland and the Irish as this decade is characterised by a great diversity of problems: economic problems, unemployment and migration which came as a result of these problems, racial harassment experienced abroad, psychological problems, the Troubles whose serious impact was felt not only in Northern Ireland but also in the Republic of Ireland, which emerged as a consequence of the conflict between the Catholics and the Protestants because of the political status of Northern Ireland and which began at the end of the 1960s and ended in 1998 with Belf

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:

Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman dramatizes the interrogation and torture of a horror fiction writer, Katurian, whose stories have been re-enacted in ‘real’ life without his knowledge. The audience gradually finds out that the murders are the crimes of Michal, Katurian's mentally retarded brother, who had been physically tortured by his parents in childhood, until Katurian murdered them. Upon Michal's confession, Katurian has to kill his brother to save him from the suffering and torture to come. Subsequently, it becomes clear that the two interrogators also suffer from the violent childhoods t

Abstract:

The exploration of disruption regarding the authorship and authority relationship—if there is one at all —is a beyond challenging concept; and because of this raises ontological questions. The texts The Pillowman and The Good Soldier provide an interesting scope for this investigation, as the characters are aware of themselves as authors and of the readers within the narrative. Can we ever separate authorship and authority? I will explore the disturbing effect that authority has on the relationship between text, reader and author. Clearly, the lines are blurred when regarding Cora Kaplan’s sta

Abstract:

The main objective of my article is to investigate the ways in which contemporary Anglophone drama and theatre actively employ diegetic and narrative forms, setting them in conflict with the mimetic action. The mode of telling seems to be at odds with the conviction not only about the mimetic nature of performance and theatre but also about the growing visuality of contemporary theatre. Many contemporary performances and dramatic texts expose the tensions between the reduction of visual representations and the expansion of the narrative space. This space offers various possibilities of explori

This study is focused on intertextual interpretation over the common elements in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman. Both plays are excellent examples of how reality and imagination interact with one another. Waiting for Godot and The Pillowman are psychological plays that explore the relationship around existentialism, death, and future hope. Beckett and McDonagh are two well-known Irish playwrights who will probably always hold a special place in world literature. In this context, Beckett is widely regarded as one of the greatest playwrights of the twentie
