It was a very hot day – dazzling sunshine! – and Mum – she was wiping sweat from her neck. No, not wiping. Dabbing . . . Dab . . . Dab. Mum was a beauty. Not like me. And don’t tell me I am because you’ll be lying and I won’t thank you for it. Not today. Not when this whole thing – us, here – is about me telling the truth.
The latest from Philip Ridley is a beautiful, breathtaking new drama about one girl’s craving for family and home, and the lengths she will go to achieve them.
Dark Vanilla Jungle embarked on a national tour of Great Britain in spring 2014.
This edition also features a selection of previously unpublished monologues by Philip Ridley alongside the play.
