Durham's Little Green Pig performs Sarah Kane’s last play in the stunning recesses of Fleisher Art Memorial chapel. A writer struggles with revelatory epiphanies over the ministrations of her doctor/lover. “Have you made any plans? / Take an overdose, slash my wrists then hang myself. / All those things together?”
The Little Green Pig Theatrical Concern is a nonprofit theatre company that has been bringing high octane work to North Carolina audiences since 2005. Our model is European but accessible, strange and dreamlike but familiar and immediate.
Little Green Pig is dedicated to Enlightenment values: exploration of imagination, questioning traditional values and subjecting our work to the light of Reason. Our form involves choosing one focus country each season and presenting original or adapted productions based on the spirit of that place. Approaches include:
using humor as a tool in tragedy and vice versa;
instilling all work with a palpable sense of drive and edge;
nontraditional casting whether by gender or race;
deconstruction and "violation" of sacred texts while maintaining plot and character;
respect for the artist's time and talent;
environmental staging in nontraditional locations whenever feasible;
whenever possible using texts created or adapted by local playwrights.
