A pig realizes his destiny... he is about to be slaughtered!
Before this momentous occasion he assesses his life - and incidentally, the entire human condition.
The remarkable Kelton Pell will play that pig in Raymond Cousse's savage satire of politics and culture.
The most performed of any contemporary French language play STRATEGY FOR TWO HAMS is ingenious, perverse, absurd, macabre - and funny - very, very funny.
Our tendency to get mired in habits, the ironies of political agitation (both left and right) and the nature of exploitation, are just some of the themes shooting through the pig's hour and a half, pre-slaughter monologue.
Hilarious, surprisingly sad and always biting STRATEGY FOR TWO HAMS will provide the perfect vehicle to showcase one of our country's most talented actors.
Add to this the artistry of Mark Howett and you get a theatrical event too good to miss.
deckchair theatre is thrilled that Mark, already acclaimed as an extraordinary lighting designer, has chosen to make his directorial debut with us.
No one's gumboots will be unmuddied by the end!
