Description

PIG / SISSY: 'Are you finding this harder to hear, is this more difficult on your stomachs because we are women.' This is about pornography. This is an interview. This is an intervention. This is an interrogation. We're recording now.We want to pull its plug out. We want to stop its heartbeat. We want to blow its brains out and begin again. We know exactly what we're doing. We're not stupid. An unsettling, powerful new piece of theatre tackling pornography and violence against women.
