Hey guys, We’re less than a month out from opening. You might be wondering... what’s this play about? Let’s hear from the writer himself: ... __________ PLAYWRIGHT’S NOTE Speaking in Tongues is about the right and wrong of emotional conduct. It’s about contracts being broken between intimates while deep bonds are forged between strangers. It maps an emotional landscape typified by a sense of disconnection and a shifting moral code. It’s about people yearning for meaning and grabbing onto small moments of hope and humour to combat an increasing sense of alienation. The play is written in two halves. Each half has a particular tone. It has been written for four actors but there are nine characters. It’s in three parts. Each part is an exploration of the relationships between four people. But they are not mutually exclusive. The connections between the characters exist across the parts as well as within them. Characters reappear, others disappear. Stories told in one part take on significance in another part. It’s driven by a sense of mystery. The answers are there but they are elusive. The plot doesn’t always move forward. It leaps sideways and backwards. It travels back to moments already seen but reveals them from a different angle. I’m conscious of the play being structurally difficult. It doesn’t follow the normal rules of playwriting. I’m worried that the audience will experience a degree of frustration with it. But I have faith that audiences are seeking different narrative shapes and new modes of dramatic exchange. The least I hope for is that they leave the theatre as haunted by these people as I am and perhaps asking the same questions they do. How do I conduct myself in this world? How do I survive it? I’d like to thank $5 Theatre Company, Chameleon Theatre Company, La Mama, Deidre Rubenstein, Playbox, and Performing Lines, and particularly Ros Horin and the Griffin Theatre Company. All have contributed to the development of this play.
