Perhaps the idea of admission of guilt or even worry is one step too far to cope with after a bottle of wine or two. Even the Half A Bottle Gone may be too much for some to comprehend the seriousness of a life that has been turned upside down by one moment’s indiscretion.

Half A Bottle Gone by Ian Walker deals with before and after, the moments where you blurt out a secret that has been tearing away at your soul and the moment when you first saw the life you lead turn dramatically inside out.

There are two sets of horror, the one that sets out to shock from the start, blood and guts everywhere, sometimes instruments of terror are involved and in the end it becomes a gore fest, certainly a jolt to the system but doesn’t leave much to the imagination. There is nowhere for the audience member to go to. The other type is explored by Grin Productions and Wes Williams’ dramatic, sometimes bestial, totally compulsive and mind wrenching production of Tongues.
