60 minutesThe Green
Dumped, in denial, and desperate for something to control, Mark adopts a pet pig, hoping for some simple companionship. The walking, talking hog who turns up has other ideas. Like The Odd Couple but it's a protein-guzzling gym bro and a feminist literature-obsessed pig. An absurdist comedy about masculinity, the thin line between humans and animals, and whether it's ever a good idea to read Simone de Beauvoir to your pet pig (even if she asks nicely). By Caitlin McEwan (Bible John – recipient of The Charlie Hartill Fund 2019). **** (Scotsman).

About the show

Two Little Pigs is an absurdist comedy by Caitlin McEwan, presented by Patrick Bone Productions at The Green. Mark, recently dumped and desperate for companionship, adopts a pet pig — only to find his new housemate is a feminist literature-obsessed, talking hog with opinions. Like The Odd Couple reimagined as a protein-guzzling gym bro versus a pig who reads Simone de Beauvoir, the show explores masculinity and the thin line between humans and animals. A 60-minute show for ages 18 and over, with strong language and scenes of violence.

Why see this show?

A genuinely strange and funny premise — a heartbroken man, a talking pig, and the question of whether reading Simone de Beauvoir to your pet is ever a good idea. Absurdist new writing with a sharp comic edge and real ideas underneath.
