Cork’s most famous play is about to get a revival to mark its 30th anniversary. Disco Pigs, the 1996 tale from Corcadorca theatre company that spawned the career of Cillian Murphy, has been announced as part of the Everyman’s new season.

While Murphy and co-star Eileen Walsh won’t be reprising their roles, playwright Enda Walsh is returning to Cork to direct the work that set him on the path to international renown.
