Summary:

Since 1995, Pig Iron Theatre Company has been making unprecedented, original work for audiences in its hometown of Philadelphia and beyond. Focused on the intersection of physical theatre, clowning, and dance, the company innovates across the physical and the textual. Collaborating with playwrights, assembling and composing from scratch, and adapting literary works, Pig Iron's written texts evidence an ingenious framework for bringing physical intensity and peculiarity into a broad, strange interface with both archaic and invented theatrical modes. Pig Iron: Three Plays offers the first extended opportunity to approach the company's work on the page. Book jacket.
