The Three Pig Variations: 27 Tiny Plays About Talking Animals and Real Estate

You know the story. Three pigs build three houses. One is of straw. One is of sticks. One is of bricks. A wolf comes around and tests the strength of the houses against his breath. He fails against the house of bricks.

That's the motif.

What can we do with variations of that theme? We present 27 little plays that take this motif and run with it.

We look at aspects of the plot. We put different people in the stories like Mr. Punch and Baba Yaga. We blend all the folk tales in a blender and get stories that last no more than five minutes.

These adult plays are meant to be read and enjoyed. You don't have to stage these puppies. But if you want to, who are we to say no?
