The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh
5.0

Ariel: ...Fuck what your mum and dad did to you and your brother. Fuck it. I'd've tortured the fuck out of them if I had them here, just like I'm gonna torture the fuck out of you now too. 'Cos two wrongs do not make a right. Two wrongs do not make a right. So kneel down over here, please, so I can connect you to this battery.
Katurian: Come on, not again...
Ariel: Come over here, please, I said...

Dark as pitch, unseating, and strange! But then that now-trademark McDonagh comedy hits you like the proverbial train. I cannot fully or smartly disseminate why this is excellent, but I know I'll be thinking about it for some time.
