Radiant Vermin presented by Riot King

Celebrated indie theatre company Riot King Art Market is back on stage this November with Radiant Vermin by playwright Philip Ridley, playing November 12th to the 22nd at The Red Sandcastle Theatre in Toronto’s beautiful East End.

Radiant Vermin is a wickedly comedic satire about a young couple who are offered a way onto the property ladder that may turn out to be too good to be true. Through a whirlwind retelling of everything they’ve done to get their dream home, Ollie and Jill show us just how far we might go to build a better life for ourselves. Playful, provocative, and viciously sharp, this outrageous dark comedy comments on the housing crisis, homelessness, and what it really takes to support a family in today’s world. It will leave Toronto audiences shocked, thrilled, and feeling a little more connected to everyone who calls this city home.
