Canstage - Speaking in Tongues

Wow! I absolutely loved this show! This was presented by The Company Theatre, in a collaboration with CanStage.

I can't say I was uniformly impressed by the actors' performance, but the script presentation was awesome and the dialogue was witty.

There are several conversations going on and sometimes the actors speak in parallel, undulating between consecutive and simultaneous phrases. We watch lives and relationships unfold, crumble and, well, not much redemption. These are very normal and fallible people, coping the best way they can.

This was one of the most creative pieces of dialogue I have experienced in a while and, although very different in style, it still felt very genuine. Nice work!
