Yeah, the playtext is definitely The Pillowman, I have the same copy. I wonder if they'll have been able to keep the cast.

Comments asking if straight to Broadway? Think it will definitely play here first?

Undoubtedly here first. They're a UK company first and foremost so yes it'll be here first.

YES. One of the best plays I’ve ever seen.

Well they still have my money so, hopefully, it won't be a struggle getting tickets if it ever does appear. It must be the longest wait between an Olivier Award-winner for new play premiering at the National (2003, although apparently it was first seen in a public reading at The Finborough in 1995!?) and getting a West End premiere. Or does anyone know of a longer gap?

Lily Allen replaces Aaron Taylor Johnson in The Pillowman, I assume he had to drop out due to filming commitments.

Couldn't they have gotten an actual actor?

I have to say I wasn't overly fussed about Aaron Taylor Johnson being in it,I was maybe hoping Domhnall Gleeson would replace him. Lily Allen is an odd choice but personally Steve Pemberton is the draw. I'm sure i'll see it and i'm sure Martin McDonough trusts her enough too.

A strange choice. I just presume this material could attract a higher class of actor? Erin Doherty, Michelle Dockery or Naomi Ackie all would have been so much better.

I've just had an email from ATG confirming my rebooking to a date in June next year. Same seats.
Options to change the date or get a credit voucher, but no refund offered.

Same here @n1david revised date works for me so all set.
Surprisingly efficient by ATG, had forgotten that I had a booking as with all the COVID credits received I thought this one had been credited.

My email was different. Said "as a previous booker ..." - I got a refund during Covid. They advised I could now re-book, and I have (£15, plus booking fee)
So, if you booked before but took a refund, do check your emails ...

If any of those booker emails aren't personalised and have a link that can be shared that would be appreciated  |

Lily Allen? Suddenly very pleased I got this refunded 2 years ago.
I like Steve Pemberton, and I think I’m in the small minority that liked A Very, Very, Very Dark Matter, but I booked primarily to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson, so will probably give this a miss altogether now.

I’ve also had the email thanking me for my patience and saying I can use my credit to rebook too. Definitely had a refund on it though as I’ve just checked.
Looks like ATG and their wonderful IT systems strike again.

I loved this play when I saw it originally. Thinking of it with a 2022 head on I wonder if it will be accused of ableism now. I only have a vague memory of it so could be remembering it wrong but isn't there a Mice and Men vibe to the siblings?

Do we know a likely price chart for this?

Pricey!!! Limited view back row of upper circle £39.50
Restricted view in stalls £70. £70-£125 seems to cover most of it.
It does look like a bunch of seats in stalls are held back across dates so hopefully some Rush tickets.

Similar prices to last time around, up a bit in line with how overall prices have moved - my ticket booked for £69.50 in Feb 2020 is £79 this time around.
