McDonagh, the acclaimed Irish playwright responsible for "The Pillow Man" and "The Lieutenant of Inishmore," made his feature debut with "In Bruges." In a statement issued from New York, where he is mounting a new production, McDonagh said he felt "glad that our strange little comedy of mayhem and redemption has been recognized for the superlative performances of Colin and Brendan."
