      Till Disco do us Part. 

      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. Spoken entirely in cork-Irish dialect, it explores coming of age, toxic friendships, alienation and animal nature.

      An Amateur production of Disco Pigs by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals and The Play Bureau. Directed by Shay McKendrick and starring Vena-Rose Lennane and Te Ohorere Williams.

      Please note: This play is recommended for those aged 16 and above. The play contains several intense themes and scenes which include intense portrayals of physical violence, mental health - specifically obsessive behaviour, alcohol and drug use and very strong sexual themes.
