RADIANT VERMIN presented by Lyric Arts
RADIANT VERMIN | MAR 1–24, 2024
By Philip Ridley
Directed by Callie Aho
Meet Jill and Ollie, a young couple with a baby on the way who dream of being homeowners. When the mysterious Ms. Dee offers them an almost-too-good-to-be-true chance to climb the property ladder, they jump at it. The only catch? The two must participate in a government project to renovate a house in a run-down neighborhood. Room by room, renovations progress, and Jill and Ollie become more obsessed with creating their dream home. But just how far they are willing to go to find perfection may shock you…
Written by Philip Ridley, RADIANT VERMIN is a biting commentary on consumerism, gentrification, and the moral cost of the pursuit of perfection. With wickedly funny dialogue, surreal imagery, and provocative themes, RADIANT VERMIN is a play that will challenge, entertain, and stick with you long after the stage lights go down.
