PIGS & KES - Kings Theatre, Southsea - Tuesday 2nd February 7:30pm

Act 1 : Pigs – from the play A Place with the Pigs by Athol Fugard. It tells the true story of a second world war deserter who hides in his pigsty for years, with only his pigs and his wife for company, while everyone assumes he died a war hero. With a clever revolving set and superb costumes, the play looks at isolation and freedom in an intriguing and thought-provoking way.

Act 2 : Kes.  This is an all-boys dance work, inspired by the film Kes and the book on which it was based - A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry Hines. Telling the story of Barnsley boy Billy Casper, academic failure and eternal victim, who finds release and a sense of personal identity through training a kestrel. TPS students have devised a dance piece based on the story – ‘it’s not about a bird, it’s about a boy’.
