Pig Heart Boy

A Children’s Theatre Partnership, Unicorn Theatre and Sheffield Theatre Production Pig Heart Boy. Is it better to have a pig’s heart that works … than a human heart that doesn’t?

Based on the novel by Malorie Blackman

Adapted by Winsome Pinnock

Directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu

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 how far he’ll go to get his life back.

From the multi-award-winning writer Malorie Blackman OBE, author of Noughts and Crosses, this brilliant novel is brought to life in a brand-new adaptation by Winsome Pinnock and is directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu in a Unicorn co-production with Sheffield Theatres and Children’s Theatre Partnership.
