  • Full Length Play
  • Dark Comedy

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. Having developed a taste for blood and sick to death of sneering imbecilic adults, Robert sets about becoming the real murderer he has always dreamed of being, all the while egged on by the newly-talking Trevor. Meanwhile, in the mind-numbingly boring offices of local paper The Kent Clarion, work experience student Philip Bottering wishes for something, anything, to report on -- preferably a juicy disaster. 

Based on the book by Doctor Who's Tom Baker, this madly-hilarious, frenetic scream of a show, which includes shark-mauling beach-goers, burning vicars and even waltzing rats, is a multi-roling masterpiece that tells the grisly tale of one scoundrel's attempt at infamy. 

REVIEWS:

"Inventive, clever, gruesome and hilarious, The Boy Who Kicked Pigs is a twisted triumph and an unmissable debut production."
