For Vernon, a Texan high-school student it’s like any ol’ day of the week. Until, word comes in – his best friend has murdered 16 of his fellow classmates. The clowns and bullies, jocks and beauty queens, geeks and emos have reached a tragic, early, Texan grave. Vernon, however, has no alibi and a witch hunt begins…
Hapless Vernon escapes his small Texan home with America’s backwards media on his tail. As the cowboy music starts to play, the fake news gets faker and the absurdities of American life just keep on coming…
Vernon God Little is a roaring, rattling tale, fizzing with helter-skelter energy. With a rhinestone-studded live soundtrack that mashes hip hop, rockabilly, gospel and guitar.
‘Very clever… brilliantly funny… with terrific wit and flair. Go’.
