Disco Pigs by Enda Walsh
Spoken entirely in cork-Irish dialect, Enda Walsh's Irish cult classic Disco Pigs follows the characters Pig and Runt, who have been inseparable since birth. Born on the same day, they consider themselves two halves of the same whole. They speak in their own language, play by their own rules, and create a world for themselves in which boundaries blur between truth and illusion. Until, on their seventeenth birthday, they discover something more. One wild, violent and chaotic night forces Pig and Runt to reckon with the world and their individual selves.

Originally performed by Cillian Murphy and Eileen Walsh in 1996, this timeless play continues to resonate. It explores coming of age, toxic friendships, alienation and animal nature.
Directed by Shay Mckendrick and performed by Te Ohorere Williams and Vena-Rose Lennane, Pig and Runt are turning 17 and you're invited.
