Pig and Runt: born only moments apart, twins in all but blood, they are one. But as they reach their 17th birthday the dangerous world they've inhabited all their young lives is on the verge of tragically imploding in this chaotic, funny and twisted story of young love, growing up, and growing apart.

"First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 1997, it was hit with huge critical acclaim and Anna Simpson, BOVTS’s graduating director, had a huge challenge on her hands. She rose to this with what seemed to be a beautiful realised vision. It was faultless. Max Dorey’s inspired design only added to the harrowing realisation that the characters, Pig and Runt, are in some way sentenced to act out this tragic performance of the painful journey into adulthood" Eleanor Skinner - Full Theatre

"The chemistry between the actors was so convincing one would think they had been friends for years. Pig and Runt, played by Edmund Digby-Jones and Faye Marsay respectively, did an astounding job of portraying the rude and grotesque teens, but also the tender and more mature aspect of the character...The play achieved a perfect equilibrium of comedy and tragedy that resulted in a poignant and well received piece of theatre" Aoife Sullivan - Bristol Theatre Review

"The fast paced performance as part of Bristol Old Vic Theatre Schools Directors’ Cuts season poured energy out into the audience...Edmund Digby-Jones as Pig and Faye Marsay as Runt were captivating, bringing constant vitality to the stage." Kate Tatlow - Bristol Theatre Review
