Speaking in Tongues

Speaking in Tongues explores the concepts of love, marriage, infidelity, trust and betrayal within a group of people whose lives are caught in an intricate web of bizarre coincidence and misconception. A psychological thriller combining drama with suspense, Speaking in Tongues was filmed in 2001 as the award winning film “Lantana”. While intriguing and wickedly funny, this is a strangely tender offering about making mistakes and living with the consequences.

Nine people are caught in an intricate web of bizarre coincidence and misconception. A husband meets another man's wife in a seedy hotel room. A stranded woman accepts a ride with a stranger. A woman sees a man hide a shoe in a vacant block. A grieving man searches for his lost love. Someone's wife goes missing...From the writer who brought you "Strictly Ballroom" and "After Dinner", Andrew Bovell's "Speaking in Tongues" is dynamic theatre. A play that explores the dilemmas of modern life; the betrayal, lust and loves of men and women in the '90s.
