COMMUNITY OPERA:
A PIG’S TALE

Em Whitfield Brooks (director)

Book and Lyrics by Peter Spafford
Music by Nick Williams

It is 1386. In the small French town of Roumaisonne, superstitions are rife.  A pig belonging to the one farmer who resists authority bites the daughter of the Count, who insists that the pig be put on trial in a court of law. Based on true events, A Pig’s Tale is a larger-than-life comedy of dark dungeons, evil barons, raging floods and singing beasts which questions the nature of power and highlights the power of nature.
