Pig and Runt have been friends since the day they were conceived, so strong is their bond, both have curious and reckless natures, their exploits rarely ending in something other than destruction. Though their world is an intensely insular one it is only as they approach adult hood that they begin to become a danger to themselves, as Pig, realising that his grip on Runt is slipping, becomes increasingly unhinged. Disco Pigs is a gripping and hard edged drama, and though there is much humour it is ultimately an angry, if poetic, tale of obsession.
