The Bruiser team will stage a professional production in your assembly hall, sports hall or community centre for as many people as you'd like to attend. This is the perfect opportunity for students studying Bruiser as a chosen practitioner, for live theatre evaluations without the hassle of visiting a venue, and to spark an interest in the performing arts amongst young people.
We are excited to announce the return of Bruiser in a Box with The Boy Who Kicked Pigs by Tom Baker!

About the play: 13 year old Robert Caligari is a nasty piece of work. But today is the day he gets his comeuppance. Today is the day he’s going to die.
When Robert kicks his sister’s beloved piggy bank Trevor out of the window, he sets in motion a chain of events that results in the unexpected demise of a local fishmonger. Having developed a taste for blood and sick to death of sneering, imbecilic adults, Robert sets about becoming the real murderer he has always dreamed of being, all the while egged on by the newly-talking Trevor.
Based on the book by Doctor Who’s Tom Baker, this madly-hilarious, frenetic scream of a show, which includes shark-mauling beach-goers, burning vicars and even waltzing rats, is a multi-roling masterpiece that tells the gloriously grisly tale of one scoundrel’s attempt at infamy.
Packed full of the verbal and visual ingenuity that Bruiser is known for, this “horrible little show about a horrible little murderer” is jam packed with physical comedy, inventive staging and ensemble playing, in Bruiser’s trademark style.
“Inventive, clever, gruesome and hilarious, The Boy Who Kicked Pigs is a twisted triumph.”
