Description:
Dumped, in denial, and desperate for something to control, Mark adopts a pet pig, hoping for some simple companionship. The walking, talking hog who turns up has other ideas. Like The Odd Couple but it's a protein-guzzling gym bro and a feminist literature-obsessed pig. An absurdist comedy about masculinity, the thin line between humans and animals, and whether it's ever a good idea to read Simone de Beauvoir to your pet pig (even if she asks nicely). By Caitlin McEwan (Bible John – recipient of The Charlie Hartill Fund 2019). **** (Scotsman).
