Pignut is a children’s theatre company, creating oringial performances using physical theatre,clowning and puppetry.

“…..Wordless enactment is also a feature of Ahhhh! , a show for children aged between 18 months and four years.

…The lone actor, Jay Ryan, proudly shows us his toys and plants, letting the children give his pet piggy a kiss. He blows bubbles, and cleans our shoes with a feather duster. Everyone present is charmed; indeed, two toddlers take to the stage to get a closer look at Jay’s toys. Produced by PigNut Productions, this is a thoroughly enjoyable – and aptly named – performance.

….fascinating to observe how their creators experiment with visual storytelling, a feature of theatre-making internationally. This makes theatre accessible to children who either haven’t learned to talk yet, or who are learning a second language.”

(Patrick Lonergan -The Irish Times)

“On that gloomy October afternoon, Jay transported children and adults alike into a magical world of Hans Christian Andersen. We all need a little bit of magic in our lives and Jay provides just that. A fantastic performance. Highly recommended” – STORY HOUR!
