Written by Andrew Bovell and directed by Humphrey Bower, Black Swan’s Speaking in Tongues is a genre-defying exploration of betrayal, shame, and consequence. From sombre monologues with comic delivery, to quips and asides that get the audience giggling, Speaking in Tongues alternates between funny and serious, flippant and profound. Speaking in Tongues: structureIf Act 1 is about intimacy and betrayal, Act 2 centres around isolation and honesty. The same actors reappear as different characters, engaging with the same themes, viewed from different angles. Speaking in Tongues is at the Heath Ledger Theatre, WA, until 14 September 2025.
