Radient Vermin EM Productions By Philip Ridley Directed by Peter Sowerbutts

What would you do for your dream home? Ollie and Jill want to tell you about their dream home. Some of the things they did to get it, you might find shocking. But they want you to know they did it all for their baby... A hilarious and outrageous black comedy from internationally acclaimed Philip Ridley. Playful, provocative and viciously sharp, Radiant Vermin is a wickedly comic satire about a young couple who are offered a way out of the housing crisis, and just how far they're prepared to go for it. Starring Emma Martin (The Browning Version, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf, The Blue Angel), Jake Kubala (Woman in Mind, Separate Tables) and Frances Lamb (Dancing at Lughnasa, See How They Run). Age guidance 12+ Running time: 90mins Wednesday 26th June Tickets £10/£6 (students)
