The Everyman Theatre in Cork has announced the 30th anniversary revival of *Disco Pigs*, a classic play by Enda Walsh. The production, which premiered in 2002, is set to run from October 10 to October 28.
The play, known for its surreal and absurdist style, explores themes of identity, desire, and transformation. It follows two young men, Pigs and Disco, as they navigate a bizarre and often unsettling world. The revival will be directed by Aoife O’Donoghue, who previously worked on the original production.
*Disco Pigs* was a critical and commercial success upon its debut, earning praise for its innovative storytelling and performances. The play has since become a staple of Irish theatre, with multiple productions across the country. The Everyman Theatre’s revival is expected to draw both longtime fans and new audiences.
The play’s return to the stage in Cork marks a significant moment in the city’s cultural calendar. The Everyman Theatre has a long history of hosting groundbreaking works, and this revival is seen as a tribute to the enduring relevance of Walsh’s work. The production will feature a cast of local actors, many of whom have performed in previous versions of the play.
The revival is part of a broader effort by the Everyman Theatre to celebrate its 150th anniversary. Other events and productions are planned throughout the year, highlighting Cork’s rich theatrical heritage.
