Irish Repertory Theatre has extended its 20th-anniversary production of Enda Walsh's breakthrough play Disco Pigs through March 4.

Under the direction of John Haidar, Evanna Lynch — best known to U.S. audiences for playing Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films — and Colin Campbell make their U.S. stage debuts. The creative team includes Richard Kent (set and costume design), Elliot Griggs (lighting design), Giles Thomas (sound design), and Naomi Said (movement direction)

Disco Pigs is described as follows: "Born at the same time on the same day in the same hospital, Pig and Runt have been inseparable ever since. They speak in their own language, play by their own rules, and create a world for themselves in which boundaries blur between truth and illusion. Until, on their 17th birthday, they discover something more. As night falls, and the disco and drink take hold, they spiral violently out of control."
