Samantha Cormier and Steve Wood play a couple in β€œRadiant Vermin,” about what a couple is ultimately willing to do for the perfect home.

Live Theatre Workshop’s next offering is a dark and funny morality play. A couple recalls how they acquired their perfect home, and it all depended on killing homeless people. LTW’s artistic director Sabian Trout gives us four reasons to see it.

  1. β€œRadiant Vermin” is a pitch-black comedy about consumerism, gentrification and how easy it can be to abandon our moral structure.
  2. It is a fast-paced comedic ride with the audience, who will identify with the optimism and weaknesses of the two main β€œeveryman” characters played by Samantha Cormier and Steve Wood.
  3. Director Maryann Green loves molding shows with small casts and more complex themes. This show invites audience members to ask themselves, β€œHow far would I go to get what I want?” and keeps them talking about it all the way home.

β€œRadiant Vermin” is a wickedly comic satire about a young couple offered a way out of the housing crisis, and the extremes they prepared to get out.
