Their first kiss took place at the scene of a stranger’s suicide attempt – Billy (Benny Ainsworth) and Rachel’s (Sally Paffett, Lead Performance Winner, Offies 2024) romance was never destined to be ordinary.

A fast-burning love sees them marry, nest, and prepare for the future. But something is scratching beneath the floorboards. As their dream home is invaded by rats, the world they’ve built begins to disintegrate – exposing the rotten foundations beneath.

As their relationship falters and their behaviours grow ever stranger, the fragile line between love and madness is crossed, and the couple embark on a blood-drenched descent through grief, obsession, and compulsion.

Vermin is an ‘exceptional’ (Broadway Baby) pitch-black drama about what we bury, what claws its way back, and what remains when we’re picked clean to the bone. ‘Truly a brilliant one of a kind’ (British Theatre Guide).
