Teenage rebellion is put to life’s
test
Disco Pigs
 By Grainne McLoughlin
Acclaimed Irish actress Juliet Crawford is set to star in Irish playwright
Enda Walsh’s latest production of Disco Pigs in London’s Pleasance
Theatre.
Pig and Runt have been inseparable since birth. Needing no-one else they
reign over their own world creating their own language and rules and carving
their way through Cork in a reckless pursuit of pleasure. But on the eve
of their 17th birthday their world begins to disintegrate.
Runt begins to see there might be more to life but Pig’s unpredictable
nature begins to spiral out of control in a trail of violence and destruction.
The inseparable pair are about to separate with devastating consequences.
Disco Pigs by playwright Enda Walsh has been described as an Irish Clockwork
Orange. An international smash hit first performed in 1997 it won both
the Dublin Theatre Festival and Edinburgh Festival’s Best Theatre
Awards, the Observer Play of the Year Award and the Scotland on Sunday
Critic’s Award.
The play also stars Ray Bullock whose most notable performance came as
Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and is directed
by Martin Jady who first directed Disco Pigs at Mountview in March last
year.
Disco Pigs will play London’s Pleasance Theatre until May 7.
