The Reverend Donald Goucher is a popular children’s writer, but his tales of a mischievous pig called Hiawyn are now so dark they are seriously unsuitable.
When the supremo of a military dirty tricks outfit sets Goucher to work writing stories about his pig wreaking havoc behind enemy lines – an exploding souvenir of the Eiffel Tower, a lethal shaving brush, a deadly Chianti bottle – things get badly out of hand and the stuff of fancy turns nasty and very, very real…
Wildly comic and disturbing, Goucher’s War explodes with powerful physical performance, live music and inspired animation by Forkbeard Fantasy.
“One of Britain’s most inventive companies.” The Guardian
