CONTENT ADVISORIES
At Greedy Pig, we believe that theatre should be an engaging and safe experience for all. Whilst we love to surprise an audience with a shock twist, we know that sometimes not all surprises are welcome. As such, on this page, you can find content advisories for all Greedy Pig's currently viewable, or upcoming productions.
​
We aim to have covered most of the more common content advisories on this page, but if you are looking for something specific - or would like more detail, please feel free to contact us here.
​
We're also aware that the amount of content warnings listed below can make our shows look quite intense and dark. In reality, the majority of our work is light and fun in tone, but we think it's important that our content advisories are in-depth, because if you're reading them, you're reading them for a reason. If you don't have specific triggers, the 'primary warnings' at the top of each show are probably all you need to be concerned with.

PRIMARY WARNINGS: DISCUSSIONS OF SUICIDE AND REFERENCE TO HOMOPHOBIA/BIPHOBIA
​

​
HOMOPHOBIA/BIPHOBIA: Discussions of homophobia and biphobia, including references to homophobia/biphobia from parents and family members. Reference to cultural homophobia, specifically relating to Jamaica. At points the characters exhibit homophobic/biphobic microaggressions (notably bi erasure), and discuss internalised homophobia/biphobia. A primary theme is the exploration of masculinity and femininity in relation to bisexuality, and within the context of drag and wearing makeup.
​

​
HEALTH/PERIODS: One character speaks in graphic detail about an unexpected period.
​
MENTAL HEALTH: Discussions of one character feeling anxious/potentially having anxiety. A character has a "panic attack" - though whilst he claims it to be a panic attack, to the audience and other characters, it's apparent that it's just him being dramatic.
​
DRAG/GENDER: One character is pursuing drag, and we see him performing in drag on multiple occasions. Discussions of how femininity and masculinity intertwine with drag.
SPOIL ME
PRIMARY WARNINGS: PORTRAYALS OF SEX, KINK & INTIMACY
​

​
SEX, KINK & INTIMACY: One of the primary themes of Spoil Me is the lead character's profession as a Sugar Baby (someone who dates wealthy older people for gifts and/or money), which includes a sexual component. Characters have simulated sex on stage. Characters have simulated masturbation on stage (though not to completion). Characters kiss, including characters of various gender and age combinations. Portrayals of kink are shown and discussed, including domination, financial domination and use of a gimp costume. One character also explores the kink of getting arousal from being kicked in the crotch and this is seen (though he wears underwear throughout).
​
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT: At one point, a character forces themselves on another against their will.
​
VIOLENCE: One character is consensually kicked in the crotch multiple times for his own pleasure.
​
NUDITY: A male character's bare bottom is scene briefly. Characters wear just their underwear at various moments in the show, and male characters are sometimes topless.
