This little Piggy meets mayhem!
A people dispossessed make it up as they go along...
Pig Tales is the story of a female child raised as a boy in a warring Liverpool Irish family, haunted by the rigid teachings of the church, disappointed with their lot and disconnected from their roots. Pig lures us into the chaos and confusionof adolescence set against the brutality of the Mental Health system. This exrtraordinairy tale is told through raw comedy, compassion and bare-faced cheek!
