Martin McDonagh Says Art Changes the World, But Not Like Murder

Original: Martin McDonagh Says Art Can Change the World. Just Not As Much as Murder.

Playwright and filmmaker Martin McDonagh says in a New York Times interview that art can change the world, though not as much as murder can, a characteristically dark remark from the writer known for blending comedy and violence in works like 'The Pillowman' and 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri'. The comment frames his ongoing interest in how stories, violence and morality collide.

Why now: The provocative remark comes as McDonagh is giving interviews, likely tied to a new project or retrospective drawing attention to his work.
