Pig Girl

Pig Girl, first produced in November 2013 and then published in November 2015,[1] is a play by Colleen Murphy that draws upon the events of the 2007 Pickton case[2] surrounding the murders of Indigenous women by Port Coquitlam pig farmer Robert Pickton. The play tells the stories of the fictionalized characters Dying Girl, Killer, Sister, and Police Officer in order to illuminate the Canadian issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women. Pig Girl was awarded both a Carol Bolt Award[3] and a Governor General's Award.[4]
