VERNON GOD LITTLE

Adapted by Tanya Ronder

Vernon God Little is a satirical, black comedy set in the fictional small town of Martirio, Texas, filled with wonderful crazy characters, classic songs, an an awful lot of Tequila!

Vernon Gregory Little's best friend has just massacred 16 of their classmates before turning the gun on himself. Suspicion and blame soon falls onto Vernon who protests his innocence but is without a valid alibi. Desperate, confused and gloriously unlucky, he flees to Mexico in an attempt to hide away from the growing media interest in the case, only to be framed and put onto a reality TV show live on death row.
