Radiant Vermin
By Philip Ridley
Directed by Nora Gair
A dream home everyone is dying for.
January 29 - February 8, 2026
Rooted Here. Imagined For Everywhere.
A too-good-to-be-true government program offers the expectant Swifts a palatial house for free. The fine print: The dilapidated house lacks basic utilities. All renovations fall on them. All renovations must attract other homebuyers to the area. Discretion is mandatory. For the impoverished Swifts, renovating will be an uphill battle…until an accident late one night.
Morality, personhood, and greed clash in this satire, which The New York Times called “nasty and energetic fun.” This play left the PlayTastings audience buzzing, and we promise you will be too.
