Case of the Late Pig
9.1.1982 - Saturday Night Theatre
James Snell, Cyril Shaps, Hayden Wood, Gerrard Greene; Amanda Murray. Dramatised by Gregory Evans. Directed by Brian Miller
----------------------------------------------------------
THE CASE OF THE LATE PIG
Hodder & Stoughton, May or June 1937
'Pig' Peters was the bully who had made Albert Campion's life a misery at prep. school. And Peters is definitely dead. Campion had attended his funeral. So how could he have died again, six months later? The investigation takes Campion back to rural Suffolk, but this is a very different affair from the early picaresque adventures like Mystery Mile and Sweet Danger. The Case of the Late Pig is a black comedy, and the author's unerring light touch - the story is, uniquely, told by Campion himself - neatly contrasts the drama and the humour.
