CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Adapted by Tanya Ronder from the novel by DBC Pierre. Directed by Rufus Norris. A teenage misfit from Texas goes on the run to escape prosecution for a crime he did not commit. It’s Friday at the Sheriff’s office. Vernon sits in his underpants, staring at his Nike’s. His best friend Jesus went and killed all their classmates, then himself. Normal times just ran howling from town.

Adapted by David Greig and Rufus Norris from Hergé’s Tintin in Tibet. Directed by Rufus Norris. A co-production with BITE05 at the Barbican.
