Every day, thousands of migrant construction workers raise homes, offices, theatres and hospitals, spaces where other lives unfold. They build stability, safety and permanence, often while living in temporary rooms, on unstable contracts, with families far away and futures on hold.

'Three Little Pigs' is a new theatre performance informed by conversations with construction workers across the UK. Developed following conversations with migrant construction workers, the play begins with three construction workers on a building site.

The piece sits somewhere between comedy and drama, much like life on site itself. There is constant humour in the routines, in the banter, in the absurd situations that arise day to day. Jokes become a way of coping, of bonding, of getting through long hours and difficult conditions. At the same time, those moments sit alongside the pressure, the risk and the things that are harder to say out loud.

The story is also rooted in real experience. Director Sava Cebotari came to the UK after being forced to leave Russia following the war in Ukraine and worked in construction to support his family while trying to find his way back into theatre. The people he met there helped open the door to the wider research process behind the piece.

Built from conversation, research and lived experience, Three Little Pigs offers a glimpse into the lives behind the labour.

The play is ENTIRELY FICTIONAL.
