About this book

It was a very hot day – dazzling sunshine! – and Mum – she was wiping sweat from her neck. No, not wiping. Dabbing... Dab... Dab. Mum was a beauty. Not like me. And don't tell me I am because you'll be lying and I won't thank you for it. Not today. Not when this whole thing – us, here - is about me telling the truth. The latest from Philip Ridley is a beautiful, breathtaking new drama about one girl's craving for family and home, and the lengths she will go to achieve them. Dark Vanilla Jungle embarked on a national tour of Great Britain in spring 2014. This edition also features a selection of previously unpublished monologues by Philip Ridley alongside the play.

Lyric 
by 
Philip 
Ridley
My 
lover’s 
hands 
hold 
me 
close 
at 
night, 
close 
at 
night, 
close 
at 
night. 
His 
warm 
embrace 
lls 
my 
dark 
with 
light. 
Oh, 
I’m 
safe 
in 
my 
lover’s 
hands. 
Yes, 
safe 
in 
my 
lover’s 
hands.
My 
lover’s 
hands 
gather 
lavender, 
lavender 
for 
my 
hair. 
My 
lover 
puts 
it 
so 
gentle 
there. 
Oh, 
I’m 
safe 
in 
my 
lover’s 
hands. 
Yes, 
safe 
in 
my 
lover’s 
hands. 
But 
I 
have 
seen 
his 
st 
sometimes 
and 
that 
st 
is 
speckled 
with 
red. 
For 
red 
is 
the 
colour 
of 
love, 
he 
said. 
Now 
kiss 
my 
ladybird 
st, 
sweet 
love. 
Kiss, 
kiss 
my 
ladybird 
st.
My 
lover’s 
hands 
chop 
up 
trees 
to 
burn 
trees 
to 
burn, 
trees 
to 
burn. 
Oh, 
watching 
him 
makes 
my 
body 
yearn. 
How 
I 
long 
for 
my 
lover’s 
hands. 
Yes, 
long 
for 
my 
lover’s 
hands.
