RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews for 2025.
This week we have the brand new stage adaptation of Malorie Blackman OBE’s novel ’Pig Heart Boy’ as the touring production visited the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre with description by Professional Audio Describer Faith Florence Agaba.
About Pig Heart Boy:
Based on the novel by Malorie Blackman. Adapted by Winsome Pinnock
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. Pig Heart Boy was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and adapted by the BBC into a Bafta award-winning TV series.
For Ages 9 – 13yrs.
