←Recommendations of French Pig

This play is funny, very Mel Brooks humor mixed with a vulgar spouting pig whose objectives are very clear from the start. The play doesn't linger too long in moments but has moments where the emotions can breathe as the woman deals with grief and responsibility. This play is layered and comes to a satisfying conclusion.

A fascinating time when pigs were on trial that makes us question everything! Well done.

A fearless, sharp-as-a-whip farce that follows a medieval French criminal trial designed to prosecute a murderous, mouthy pig. Like, the animal. Jacobi builds a world that is self-aware and hilarious, taking the time to follow the multi-day trial and its inevitable outcome, with a deft wit and brilliant character choices. This one's a gem.

InterAct Theatre Company presented FRENCH PIG as part of our 7th Annual Core Playwrights Weekend in December 2019. In this serrated, strange, hysterical dark comedy, David reflects on how the justice system privileges and punishes strictly along class lines, and refracts that into a meditation on how our social circumstances color and crush our sense of purpose. We are proud to have contributed to the life of this piece.

Absolutely hilarious! Through humor, this play explores the strange idea of the animal trials that once occurred in 15th century France. The characters in this play are just captivating and original. If you are looking for a great comedy, this play is for you!

Hilariously original and new! I loved every second reading this play from the farcical plot to the "high as a kite" Lawyer being possessed by "God?" I would love to direct or play a role in this show. If I were to act in it, I NEED to be the Lawyer. Amazing work that leaves laughing on each and every page!

Where did this play come from? Don't care--Need more from there. Play very funny, and ring very true about absurdity of life.

The joie de vivre coursing through every line and action in this play about death lifts it into its own seriously funny, hilariously serious world; the central role of Amée is a gift for an actress, as is Pig, one of the funniest, snarkiest, most horribly lovable anthropomorphic characters I've ever come across. The possibilities for inventive staging abound, and in performance this must be sheer delight. I'd say well done, but that would be just so wrong, considering Pig, and her fate...

Um, okay. Wow. This play is amazing, funny, and vastly original. The dialogue is absolutely joyous to listen to, even if only from the page. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to read a play that doesn't suck you down to the banks of despair, and in fact gifts you with levity! Read. this. play. Love. this. pig.

"Shut up. Be alive. Take naps." This play is hilarious, original and thought-provoking. There's nothing quite so funny to me in a play than a. Talking animals and b. talking about death in a cavalier and/or blunt fashion and somehow, Jacobi's play does both. Highly recommend.
