REVIEWS

"Onto an empty stage comes Andrea. She stands there, unsure what to say until she blurts the story of the time when she was stung by a wasp. She is a 16 year old who's had a rough childhood and wishes to have a family and a home of her own. She tells the audience her story of love, deception, abuse, sex slavery and abandonment. Philip Ridley is known for piling on the pain and misery in his stories, and Dark Vanilla Jungle is no exception" ~ Whatsonstage

"Philip Ridley's plays are always populated with monsters. Whether they are fantastical creatures lurking at the edges of civilization, the human predators willing to pounce at the slightest hint of weakness, or simply the demons that crowd the darker reaches of our subconscious, they never quite go away. In this dizzying, gut-churning new monologue, the threat is both external and internal; monsters are on the street and in the mind ... When it comes to oddly exquisite horror, no one does it better" ~ Catherine Love
