Scott Pask, The Pillowman
Best Scenic Design of a Play
Thank you so much. It is beyond overwhelming. I grew up in Yuma, Arizona and feel completely unprepared for something like this.
I am hugely indebted to my director, John Crowley, who is so brilliant, and to Martin McDonagh for his spectacular play. I have never been so lucky. To the incredible cast, crew and staff that bring these stories to life every night, it is just the greatest gift. I am completely indebted to my amazing associate designer Orit Jacoby Carroll--every day I am thankful for you. Thank you so much. Our producers here, Robert Fox, and especially in London at the National Theatre. Thanks to Hudson Scenic for doing such an amazing job. I know I am forgetting somebody. It's just incredible, its crazy. I learned to ride a bike between speed bumps in a trailer park! Thank you. My love to my family. Thank you mom, Frank, my brother Bruce, my sister Heather. Thank you.
