Google Patrick Bone ProductionsAbout 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.
