Review: Pig Heart Boy Education Resource Pack

Matthew Nichols says there is much to recommend in this resource pack.

Immanuel Yeboah in Pig Heart Boy
Immanuel Yeboah in Pig Heart Boy - ALI WRIGHT

For shame. I had – of course – heard of Malorie Blackman; one of our best and most admired children's authors. Her work has also made its way to our stages. There are two adaptations of her landmark book, Noughts and Crosses, as well as a BBC adaptation. But I hadn't, until recently, heard of Pig Heart Boy. Great news, then, that this 1997 book has now been adapted by no less than Winsome Pinnock. Having made a real splash, opening to great reviews at the Unicorn Theatre, the production is now touring the country, and this nifty educational resource pack is a real asset to anyone who might be thinking of seeing the production, as well as those who might just want some more insight into the world of the play itself.
