About

Pig Heart Boy

Is it better to have a pig ‘s heart that works … than a human heart that doesn’t?

Cameron is thirteen, and all he wants is to be normal – have friends, go to school, and dive to the bottom of his local swimming pool. But he desperately needs a heart transplant and time is running out. When he’s finally offered a new heart , Cameron must choose how far he’ll go to get his life back.

From the multi award-winning writer Malorie Blackman OBE, author of Noughts and Crosses, this brilliant novel is brought to life in a brand-new adaptation by Winsome Pinnock, and is directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu in a Unicorn co-production with Sheffield Theatres and Children’s Theatre Partnership.

PIG HEART BOY was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and adapted by the BBC into a Bafta award-winning TV series.

“I’m thrilled that my novel Pig Heart Boy is being adapted for the stage and touring the UK in 2025. It’s an incredible honour to see this story brought to life, allowing new audiences to experience its heart and message through the magic of theatre.” – Malorie Blackman

Age guidance: 8+ Running time: 1 hour and 50 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)
