| David Hurst takes a look at Disco Pigs: It's always a red flag when the first page inside your theatre program is a note from the director explaining the play you're about to see. Such is the case with the Irish Repertory Theatre's newly imported 20th anniversary revival of Enda Walsh's landmark, two-hander, Disco Pigs, which arrives at the Rep courtesy of Tara Finney Productions following a critically-acclaimed run at London's Trafalgar Studios last summer. Its director, John Haidar, the Associate Director of the maverick touring company Headlong Theatre, is smart to include such a note but audiences may need a more comprehensive handout, including a glossary of words, to fully understand the play they're about to see. Furiously paced and filled with unintelligible gibberish courtesy of Tony-winner Walsh (Once), Disco Pigs is a challenge for contemporary American audiences despite its status as an Irish masterpiece. . . . |
