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 inspired by real stories from construction sites across the UK. Developed through interviews and workshops with migrant workers, the play follows three men whose lives intersect 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, and the stories they shared, are at the core of this piece.

Built from fragments of memory, conversation and lived experience, Three Little Pigs brings together voices that are rarely heard on stage, offering a glimpse into the lives behind the labour.
