The Depot Theatre presents
Radiant Vermin
Thursday, July 17 – Sunday, August 3
When a young couple is offered an ideal house by a mysterious stranger, it prompts the chilling question: How far would any of us go to get our dream home? What follows is a provocative, pitch-black satire that skewers our fantasies about having it all.
Directed by Chan Harris, who directed Every Brilliant Thing at the Depot Theatre last season, this cutting-edge, thought-provoking comedy teeters on the brink of mayhem while shining a light on the human condition, the haves and have-nots, and the inequities of life.
