Frank Pig Says Hello

From one of Ireland's most daringly original writers, Frank Pig Says Hello, is Patrick McCabe's stage version of his acclaimed novel The Butcher Boy. The stage adaptation, which first appeared as part of the 1992 Dublin Theatre Festival, lets us inside the troubled mind of Francie Brady, letting him share his hopes, his fears, his sense of fun and ultimately his rage against the world around him.

This black comedy, a grotesque fusion of story-telling and role-play where over 30 characters are played by two versatile actors, is a poignant and provocative journey into the heart and mind of a young mind driven beyond the boundaries of his mental and emotional health. Challenging but rewarding, humourous yet harrowing, Frank Pig Says Hello is at times breathtaking, often haunting and always hugely entertaining.
