Speaking in Tongues (NHB Modern Plays) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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
