“What’s the colour of love?”
Pig and Runt are two Cork teenagers who share the same birthday, speak the same secret language, and whose joint inner world is about to be torn asunder by impending adulthood.
One of the greatest Irish plays ever written, Disco Pigs launched the careers of writer Enda Walsh and actors Cillian Murphy and Eileen Walsh when it premiered in Cork in 1996.
For the first time in its history, Disco Pigs will be directed by its writer, Tony Award winner Enda Walsh. Cast to be announced.
30 years since its premiere, The Everyman will present a major new production of Disco Pigs in 2026, as part of its EVERYMAN MADE programme of in-house productions.
The Everyman is proud to celebrate this uniquely Cork play in the home of Cork theatre.
