The acclaimed stage adaptation of the 2003 Man Booker Prize-winning novel

VERNON GOD LITTLE
by DBC Pierre
adapted by Tanya Ronder

“Freedom is a piece of shit!”

Dark, riotously funny, razor-sharp and packing a punch, Vernon God Little is a startling satire on youthful isolation and the commercialisation of horror.

Vernon’s best friend Jesus has just massacred his high school class before lunch then shot himself. Not quite your typical day, even for Texas, now everyone’s looking for someone to blame – and hapless Vernon is in their sights.

With the searing cynicism of youth but an unfortunate ability to attract bad luck, Vernon makes a mad dash south to the Mexican border, pursued by the absurdities of life that just won’t leave him alone.

This potent, disturbing yet ultimately uplifting story lays bare the dysfunctional mess that underpins modern America.

Packed full of grotesque characters, whacky situations and musical numbers ranging from blues to country to gospel, VERNON GOD LITTLE promises to be a fabulous night's entertainment.

‘Very clever... brilliantly funny' The Independent

‘A helter-skelter portrait of a crazy world' The Guardian
