Disco Pigs

Enda Walsh

Feb. 27 - March 1, 2002

Performance Works, Granville Island

Playwright Enda Walsh’s high energy joy-ride Disco Pigs was originally staged in Cork, Ireland by Corcadorca Theatre.  Two Irish kids, Pig and Runt are born at almost the same time in the same Dublin hospital - spiritual twins of different mothers - and grow up next door to each other. Insulated by their devotion to each other, the pair forge an almost telepathic bond while their intense relationship is expressed in a language that becomes aggressive, angular and deformed.

The show was directed by Del Surjik.

“Disco Pigs is a wild and wicked ride, a frontal assault full of attitude, sound and light.”

“The aggressively hip set, lighting, language and performances in Pi Theatre’s Disco Pigs are among the hard-edged best you’ll see this season.”
