Speaking in Tongues

Written by Andrew Bovell
Directed by John McSpadyen
Presented by the Tower Theatre Company

Speaking in Tongues is an intriguing, thrilling and engaging play comprising a number of separate but interlinked stories. A woman disappears. Relationships become entangled in a web of love, deceit, sex and death. Who will survive? Nine parallel lives – connected by four infidelities, one missing person and a mysterious stiletto – are woven through a fragmented series of encounters, confessionals and interrogations that gradually reveal the darker side of human nature. Originally premiered in Sydney in 1996, Speaking in Tongues has been filmed as the award winning Lantana.
