Show Summary
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 - what ever they did - they did it all for their baby.
A wickedly comic satire about a young couple offered a way out of the housing crisis, and just how far they're prepared to go to get everything they've always wanted.
Playful and provocative, Radiant Vermin is the showstopping first comedy by the internationally acclaimed Time Out, Evening Standard and Critics Circle Award-winning playwright Philip Ridley. Directed by Evening Standard Award nominee David Mercatali, the show reunites Ridley with the team behind nationally acclaimed premieres of Tender Napalm and 2014 Fringe First winning smash hit Dark Vanilla Jungle.
