AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'‘’Yeah you’ve got rights. You’ve got a whole lot of rights. You know what you haven’t got?’’

'One Woman. Four Men. She could be with all of them; at twenty-two on a date on the Gold Coast, at thirty-one moving into an apartment in Albert Park, or at forty, happily married with a nine-year-old son living in Campsie. Four very different worlds share an identical space, our homes.

'King of Pigs throws us into a blistering series of reality pockets. Each glimpse we get provides a momentary view of a vast panoramic lie. It’s a lie every man tells himself privately but every woman lives with publicly.

'A direct response to the nature of power and the way men licence themselves to abuse it.' (Production summary)
