Rufus Norris directs this revived adaptation of DBC Pierre's satire Vernon God Little, in which school kid Vernon escapes to Mexico, where the absurdities he finds in his life just keep on coming. His best friend has just shot and killed 16 school bullies before turning the gun on himself. Whilst everyone looks for someone to blame, the finger is suddenly pointed at Vernon himself. Hapless, cynical and gloriously unlucky, he decides to test his fortunes in Mexico but finds his troubles have only just begun. Described by Time Out as "grotesque tickling of the funny-bone", this thrilling black comedy features a rollicking soundtrack of quintessential American hits and is something of a smash hit at the Young Vic Theatre.About The Young Vic
Knocked together out of breeze blocks for a minimal budget in 1970, Lawrence Olivier's experimental theatre was intended to last for five years, and provide an inspiration for the new generation of performers. But this was an experiment that worked and, years later, the Young Vic remains south London's premier venue for the contemporary, the shocking, the controversial, and the bizarre.
