Synopsis

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 This edition also features a selection of previously unpublished monologues by Philip Ridley alongside the play.

Media Reviews
We need writers such as Ridley to take us to these dark crevasses of experience . . . it all remains with you like a vivid hallucination * The Arts Desk *
No one captures pain, violence and the misery of love gone wrong quite like Philip Ridley * Telegraph *
Flawless script . . . his writing is second to none . . . it's breathtaking * Female Arts *
Ridley, as ever a master of lyrical unpleasantness, who here creates a picture of innocence corrupted . . . This is lacerating excruciating theatre, which leaves the audience exhausted and speechless * Evening Standard *
There is grit flecked with sparkle and punishing bleakness with a hint of magic . . . When it comes to oddly exquisite horror, no one does it better * Exeunt *
