Tara Finney Productions’ 20th anniversary staging of Enda Walsh’s Disco Pigs recently extended its run at Off-Broadway's Irish Repertory Theatre. The production, starring Harry Potter’s Evanna Lynch and Dublin by Lamplight's Colin Campbell (both reprising their roles from the London staging) will now run through March 4 instead of the previously announced February 18.
Disco Pigs played an acclaimed run at London’s Trafalgar Studios in 2017, marking 20 years since the play first made a splash at the 1997 Edinburgh Fringe. In the two-hander, best friends named Pig and Runt celebrate a joint birthday; as night falls, the disco and drink take hold, and things spiral violently out of control.

When you’re a helpless little actor who can’t dress herself. Shoutout to our dresser, Kim!
“Be the Pig. You are the Pig.”
Rule of thumb for Runt’s hairstyle-if it doesn’t feel like it’s tearing pieces of scalp out, it isn’t tight enough.
Oh hello, sneaky pigs wine stash.
“Lipstick_ Yup. Lighter_ Yup.” Friendship is checking each other has his/her props each and every show.
Pre show--Ready for the Disco!
