Based on the short comic horror novel by Tom Baker (of Doctor Who fame), The Boy Who Kicked Pigs was adapted for the stage by K*ll the Beast, the theatre company that went on to create the Olivier-winning Operation Mincemeat.This grotesque gothic fable tells the story of Robert Caligari, a malevolent young boy who begins a chain of catastrophes after he kicks his sister’s piggybank, Trevor, out the window. Having developed a taste for blood and sick to death of imbecilic adults, Robert sets about becoming the mass murderer he has always dreamed of being, egged on by the newly talking Trevor. Meanwhile, in the mind-numbingly boring offices of local paper The Kent Clarion, Philip Bottering wishes for something, anything, to report on – preferably a juicy disaster.
The Boy Who Kicked Pigs is a multi-rolling thrill ride, featuring music, projections and fifty horrid and hilarious characters. Coming to CLT’s Salisbury Studio in October, be sure not to miss this darkly delightful treat for the Halloween season.
This production is in the Salisbury Studio where seats are unnumbered. All tickets £10.00 (booking charges apply).
