In Conversation with IMMANUEL YEBOAH discussing Pig Heart Boy at Lowry

We chatted to Immanuel Yeboah, the leading actor starring in the production Pig Heart Boy coming to Lowry, Salford on March 26th to 29th 2025. Karen Ryder asks the questions.

Is it better to have a pig's heart that works … than a human heart that doesn't?

Cameron is thirteen, and all he wants is to be normal – have friends, go to school, and dive to the bottom of his local swimming pool. But he desperately needs a heart transplant and time is running out. When he’s finally offered a new heart, Cameron must choose how far he’ll go to get his life back.

From the multi award-winning writer Malorie Blackman OBE, author of Noughts and Crosses, this brilliant novel is brought to life in a brand-new adaptation by Winsome Pinnock, and is directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu in a Unicorn co-production with Sheffield Theatres and Children’s Theatre Partnership.

Pig Heart Boy was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and adapted by the BBC into a Bafta award-winning TV series.

Age recommendation:

This show is aimed at ages 9 and above. This story is a faithful adaptation of the book about a young boy in need of a heart transplant in order to save his life. Although the themes are complex, it is funny and hopeful at times, and the subject is treated in an appropriate way for the age range.
