Entertaining, emotional and accessible...Pig Heart Boy will tug at the toughest of heart-valves. --A Youngish Perspective

Cameron is thirteen, and all he wants is to be normal--have friends, go to school, and dive to the bottom of his local swimming pool. But he desperately needs a heart transplant and time is running out.

When he's finally offered a new heart, Cameron must choose between a pig's heart that works...or a human heart that doesn't. How far will he go to get his life back?

Based on Malorie Blackman's novel of the same name, Winsome Pinnock's adaptation of Pig Heart Boy is hilariously funny, intelligent and thought-provoking and stays admirably close to the original book yet energises the story in leaping from page to stage (Everything Theatre).
