With: Elaine Cassidy, Cillian Murphy, Darren Healy, Brian F. O'Byrne, Eleanor Methven
Plot: Pig (Murphy) and runt (Cassidy) are best friends since birth, do everything together, and speak in their own twisted version of the English language. as their parents worry and try to separate them, pig wants to take their relationship to the next level.

Very vivid and emotionally charged, but a bit uneven, and its problems get worse as it goes on. Murphy and Cassidy are both outstanding in very different roles, but in trying to create really, really (really) idosyncratic characters, writer Enda Walsh has made two exceptionally annoying characters, and it's mostly down to the cast that we care for or relate to them at all. The story ends predictably (with a really awful ten minutes slightly made up for by a good final five minutes) and not entirely convincingly. Memorable, but ultimately a little pointless.
