DBC PIERRE’S SUPERBLY DARK, RIOTOUSLY FUNNY, FAST-TALKING ADVENTURE HITS THE STAGE RUNNING ONCE AGAIN!
Vernon’s best friend has just massacred his school class before lunch and then shot himself. Everyone is looking for someone to blame – and they’re pointing the finger at Vernon!
Hapless, cynical and gloriously unlucky, Vernon makes a desperate escape to Mexico. As the cowboy music starts to play, the absurdities of life just keep on coming…
Bigger and bolder than ever, this thrilling updated version of the Young Vic’s smash hit features a rollicking soundtrack of quintessential American hits, including songs by the legendary Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams and more.
