Vernon’s a Texan highschool student, and it’s like any ol’ day of the week. Until, word comes in – his best friend has murdered 16 of his fellow classmates. The clowns and bullies, jocks and beauty queens, geeks and emos have reached a tragic, early, Texan grave. Vernon, however, has no alibi and a witch hunt begins…
Cynical and gloriously unlucky, Vernon makes a desperate escape from his small, filthy town to Mexico with America’s backwards and invasive media on his tail. As the cowboy music starts to play, the absurdities of American life just keep on coming…
Bigger and bolder than ever, DBC Pierre’s worldwide, Booker prize winning hit leaves you in a vulnerable state, dazed by the Texas twang that vibrates through the dialogue, and struck dumb by Vernon’s fierce longing to escape Martirio, the barbecue capital of the Central Texas.
Vernon God Little is a roaring, rattling tale and one helluva production, fizzing with helter-skelter energy. And along with a rhinestone-studded live soundtrack that mashes hip hop, rockabilly, gospel and guitar, we are sure that the audience will go absolutely wild.
