Andrew Bovell

Speaking in Tongues (NHB Modern Plays)

A powerful study of infidelity and interwoven lives, filmed as the award-winning Lantana.
A woman disappears. Four marriages become entangled in a web of love, deceit, sex and death. Who will survive?
Nine parallel lives — interlocked by four infidelities, one missing person and a mysterious stiletto — are woven through a fragmented series of confessionals and interrogations that gradually reveal a darker side of human nature.
'Bovell explores love, marriage, strangeness, intimacy, trust, betrayal, obsession, self-punishment and detachment with generous emotional intelligence' — Observer
'Clever, provocative, elliptically resonant' — New York Times
