Disco Pigs
Enda Walsh’s modern classic, Disco Pigs, comes to the Young Vic from 2 – 24 September and tells the story of two teenagers, Pig and Runt, hell-bent on partying. But it’s this appetite for hedonism and their inseparable friendship that could be their downfall.
We caught up with the cast – or rather the characters on this occasion – to get an insight into the crazed world of the Disco Pigs.
