About this title

Synopsis

An updated edition of Tanya Ronder's darkly riotous, superbly fast-talking play, adapted from the Booker Prize-winning novel by DBC Pierre. Published alongside the revival at London's Young Vic theatre as it celebrates its 40th anniversary. Vernon Little is fifteen years old and lives with his mother in Martirio, a flea-bitten Texan town. His best friend just massacred sixteen of their classmates before killing himself. The town wants vengeance and turns its sights on Vernon.

About the Author

DBC Pierre was born Peter Finlay in 1961 in Australia. He was brought up in Mexico, and lived as a recluse and a conman for most of the 1990s. He got a job as a graphic designer and moved to Ireland in 2000, where he completed Vernon God Little. Tanya Ronder adapted Peribanez for the Young Vic in 2003 and Blood Wedding (which starred Gael Garcia Bernal) at the Almeida in 2005.
