“Inventive, clever, gruesome and hilarious, The Boy Who Kicked Pigs is a twisted triumph.”
-WhatsOnStage
Details
A horrible little show about a horrible little murderer!
13-year-old Robert Caligari is a nasty piece of work. But today is the day he gets his comeuppance. Today is the day he’s going to die.
When Robert kicks his sister’s beloved piggy bank, Trevor, out of the window, he sets in motion a chain of events that results in the unexpected demise of a local fishmonger. Developing a taste for blood, Robert sets about becoming the real villain he has always dreamed of being. All the while, egged on by the newly talking Trevor.
Based on the book by Doctor Who’s Tom Baker, this madly hilarious, frenetic scream of a show, featuring shark-mauling sunbathers, combustible vicars and even waltzing rats, is a mesmerising masterpiece that tells the gloriously grisly tale of one scoundrel’s attempt at infamy
