The Pillowman is a 2003 play by writer Martin McDonagh, taking place in a totalitarian state police office in which Ariel, a bad cop with anger management issues, and Tupolski, a detective with a god complex, interrogate "genius writer stroke psycho-killer" Katurian K. Katurian. Initially, he is suspected of murdering several children because each murder emulated some of his smash hit murder mysteries, and from then on the play spirals downward into the minds of each person involved with the case, with the exception of Michael Katurian, the younger brother of the two.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Throughout the three acts, we see the extremely brutal interrogation methods carried out by Ariel and Tupolski, as well as large chats about each characters background. The first and second act then transition to a dream sequence that describes one of the stories written by Katurian, and the real outcome of each when carried out by the perpetrator himself.The third act is a final discussion between Ariel, Katurian, and Tupolski leading up to the execution of Katurian. Katurian is entirely accepting of the prospect of death, but on the condition that the two cops leave his legacy as a writer alone. | |

Affably Evil: Tupolski is a lot more polite and patient than Ariel but he's still ultimately not someone you'd want to be interrogated by. | |

Adults Are Useless: Again, something of a staple of Katurian's stories. | |

Abusive Parents: As well as apparently being something of a staple of Katurian's stories, this also applies to Katurian and Michal's parents (towards Michal at least), and Ariel's father. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| The Pillowman (Theatre) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Ariel starts out as the bad cop to Tupolski's (relatively) good cop, and begins to turn more inarguably good when he gives his "Children are gonna come up and give me sweets when I'm an old man" speech. This culminates in him disobeying Tupolski and saving Katurian's stories from the fire. | |
