• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A darkly riotous, superbly fast-talking adventure, adapted from the Booker Prize-winning novel.

Vernon Little is fifteen years old and lives with his mother in Martirio, a flea-bitten Texan town. His best friend just massacred sixteen of their classmates before killing himself. The town wants vengeance and turns its sights on Vernon, who is arrested at the start of the story.

Tanya Ronder's stage adaptation of DBC Pierre's Booker Prizewinning novel was first performed at the Young Vic, London, in 2007, when it was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best New Play. Rufus Norris's production was revived in 2011, in this revised version, as the centrepiece of the Young Vic's celebratory fortieth anniversary season.

'Tanya Ronder's clever, fluent, and highly enjoyable theatrical adaptation' - Independent

'exuberant, inventive, edgy, excitable, original' - Mail on Sunday

Autorenporträt

Born in Australia, DBC Pierre spent a lavish upbringing in Mexico learning the tools of his undoing. He undid himself on three continents during his twenties, spending his thirties in London and the West Indies. Having plied a piecemeal trade since childhood as designer, photographer, film-maker and cartoonist, his first novel, Vernon God Little, erupted just before his fortieth birthday. It went on to win the MAN Booker Prize, the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Bollinger Everyman Woodhouse Award for Comic Writing in 2003. His second novel, Ludmila's Broken English, was published in 2006. He lives in County Leitrim, Ireland.
