In 2014, Uganda passed an Anti-Homosexuality Act. This short, startling play looks at what lies behind it.

Caryl Churchill's Pigs and Dogs premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2016, in a production directed by Dominic Cooke.

Pigs and Dogs is also available in the collection Caryl Churchill Plays: Five.

'You western-backed goats,
They forced us into slavery and killed millions.
Now they want us to accept the sinfulness of homos.
It shall not work.'

Press Quotes

The Reviews Hub

'Poetic and resonant'

Telegraph

'Spare, punchy… not a finger-wagging piece but an angry and sorrowful one'

Guardian

'A sharp vision of bigotry'
