The three little pigs is a classic tale of the English tradition which first version goes back to about 1843, when O.J.Halliwell included it in his Nursery Rhymes and Tales. From this moment on, as it was transmitted from generation to generation, the story has had so many modifications that it has lost its original meaning. It is exactly this first version that we picked up to represent on stage the story of these little brothers who had to deal with their (and our) most ferocious enemy: the wolf. In order to defend themselves from this evil being, the youngest pig build a little house with straw, and the median with wood: they both set up their shelters in a rush, for having more time left to play. They will pay for their superficiality when the wolf, by destroying the two houses with just a breath of air, will eat them greedily. The oldest one, on the opposite, wise mannered and foreseing the dangerousness and the shrewdness of the wolf, builds a solid house made of bricks and, at the end, he manages to defeat the wolf. The three little pigs teaches in a very amusing and dramatic way, especially addressing to the youngest, that being lazy and taking things easy could be very dangerous: The intention of the story is to being prudent. The houses which the three little pigs build symbolise the stages of men’s lives: the third pig represents the age of maturity and knowledge with which is possible to beat the strong and cunning forces.
