The REcreate Agency and Triptych Theatre presents

Vermin

Written by Benny Ainsworth

Directed by Michael Parker

Besotted couple Billy and Rachel have a rat problem. But lurking below the floorboards of their first home together is a much darker, deep-rooted horror the couple must confront – no matter how damaging or deadly. VERMIN is an unsettling, unrelenting and heartbreaking dark comedy that peels back the layers of unchecked grief. 

Following a runaway Edinburgh Fringe success, VERMIN is presented by The REcreate Agency in collaboration with multiple award-nominated and critically acclaimed theatre company Triptych Theatre.  

Content Warnings: flashing lights, strong language, graphic descriptions of animal cruelty, child loss and suicide.

“It taps into a deeply rooted fear, not only of that which creeps, crawls and scuttles beneath the floor and within the walls, but of that which festers and broods in those closest to us”
