Megan Swaisland, Rachel Lea-Gray and Jazz Evans will head the cast of Pigs Might Fly, which is embarking on a UK tour that will take in Theatre Peckham and New Wimbledon Theatre.
The bold and energetic new musical follows the air-raising adventures of Pintsize (Swaisland), the youngest and most daring piglet on Mudpuddle Farm. Pintsize loves nothing more than playing with his neighbour and best friend Diana the sheep, until one day Pintsize wakes up to discover a tall fence built between their two farms.
Devastated by the loss of playtime with his best pal, Pintsize resolves that he will figure out how to fly over it instead. Can his determination and ingenuity defy the laws of physics? Will crotchety Farmer Rafferty (Evans) finally make peace with his neighbour, Farmer Brightwell (Lea-Gray)? Can Albertine the clever goose keep Pintsize from hurting himself as he tries to fly?
From DEM Productions and based on Michael Morpurgo’s Mudpuddle Farm, book, music and lyrics are by Caroline Wigmore and Jen Green. It is directed by Kate Golledge.
Pigs Might Fly has choreography by Chris Whittaker (Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Gatsby) and set and costume design by Stewart J Charlesworth (From Here To Eternity, The Dark).
The show will start its UK Tour on May 24, 2023 at Theatre Peckham before arriving at New Wimbledon Theatre on June 3-4.
