THE BOY WHO KICKED PIGS

Ā 


šŸ“ Upstairs at the MAC, Belfast
šŸ“… 16 ā€“ 18 October | 7PM & 3PM
šŸŽŸļø Ā£19 | Age 13+



NORTHERN IRISH PREMIERE


Brace yourself, Belfastā€¦ the gloriously grisly cult comedy from the twisted minds of Doctor Whoā€™s most iconic doctor, Tom Baker, and the legends that are Kill The Beast ā€“ the originators of the Olivier & Tony Award-winning global smash Operation Mincemeat, is coming to The MAC, and itā€™s unlike anything youā€™ve ever seen.



FIRST NIGHT SOLD OUT ā€“ NIGHT TWO NEARLY GONE!


Meet Robert Caligari. Heā€™s 13. Heā€™s horrid. And heā€™s just discovered a love for murder. šŸ©ø


What begins with a piggy bank named Trevor sailing out a window spirals into a full-blown frenzy of death, destruction, and darkly delicious chaos. Think shark attacks, exploding vicars, and rats that waltz like no oneā€™s watching.


This is no ordinary play. This is 70 minutes of theatrical mayhem ā€” a blood-splattered, breakneck black comedy packed with twisted characters, grotesque glee, and a cast switching roles faster than you can say ā€œPunter of Porkers!ā€


With eyeballs bulging and teeth bared, The Boy Who Kicked Pigs charges at you with a crossbow grin and never lets up. This is dark comedy at its most deranged ā€” and youā€™ll love every second.


šŸ©ø Think Roald Dahlā€¦ on a killing spree.
šŸ· Think Tim Burtonā€¦ with a talking pig.
šŸ’€ Think fast ā€“ because tickets are vanishing.


šŸ‘‰ BOOK NOW ā€“ before Robert kicks you next.

šŸŽ„ BEHIND THE BLOOD: Inside the Rehearsal Room of The Boy Who Kicked Pigs
An exclusive peek into the madness before opening night...


As we gear up for the Premiere of The Boy Who Kicked Pigs, the cast has been deep in rehearsalsā€”bringing to life a world of murderous 13-year-olds, talking piggy banks, and waltzing rats (yes, really).


In these exclusive video interviews, Jack Watson (Trevor the pigā€¦ and many others) and Eleanor Shannon (Nerysā€¦ and just as many others) share their thoughts on tackling this uniquely twisted comedy. From transforming into multiple bizarre characters to navigating the breakneck pace and physical chaos of the show, hear first-hand what makes this production unlike anything theyā€™ve ever done.


šŸ‘€ Whatā€™s it like playing a talking pig with a thirst for vengeance?
šŸ’€ Favourite mixes of dark and ridiculous?
šŸŽ­ And what makes this production truly special for Belfast audiences?


Hit play below and step into the delightful darkness with usā€¦


šŸŽ¬ Watch now ā€“ and prepare for pigs, panic, and theatrical pandemonium.

REVIEWS SO FARā€¦

Ā 




šŸ”ŖšŸ· The pigs have already started flyingā€¦ and screaming.


While our public run doesnā€™t kick off until next week, weā€™ve been taking The Boy Who Kicked Pigs on the road ā€” unleashing our gloriously gruesome little show on schools across Belfast (and beyond).


Letā€™s just say... the kids are not alright ā€” and they loved it.


Hereā€™s what they had to say after surviving the madness:


ā€œTop drawer, epic ensembleā€


ā€œIt was amazing ā€” definitely different from other productions I've seen, but a good differentā€


ā€œCreative, imaginative, flowing energy and suspenseā€


ā€œSo thought through and genuinely so impressiveā€


ā€œI enjoyed the show so much and every aspect was amazingā€


This wild, weird, blood-soaked romp is already turning heads and twisting minds ā€” and we havenā€™t even opened the doors to the public yet.


Join us at The MAC from 16ā€“18 Octoberā€¦ if you dare. šŸ·šŸ’„
