Piglet
The New Theatre
April 18th – 22nd 2023
Piglet is a story of obsession, violence, fish and chips, Jennifer Coolidge impressions, lost love and what it feels like to lose the life you’ve always dreamt of.
After having a breakdown in a Gender Studies class, Mercy Munroe’s life changed forever. She now spends her days as a waitress in a chip shop in Offaly who has an unhealthy obsession with revenge and her ex-girlfriend. Until one day unexpectedly her two old best friends who abandoned her walk into her chip shop and order a fish supper. Clutching a piece of battered haddock tightly in one hand and a salt shaker in the other, Mercy Munroe vows there and then that the time is right to try and take her life back.

“Pringle’s writing is smart and funny and sad and believable; the acting, particularly from Hartin, is raw and emotional and full of snappy delivery; the lighting and sound elevate it all... All that’s left to do is wonder – what’s next for all these talented people?"
