Tongues, Theatre Review. 81 Renshaw Street.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Helen Kerr, Paul Culshaw, Eddie Fortune, Dale Grant.

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.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Simon James Of Grin Theatre.

In 2012 Grin Theatre Productions produced their ultimate piece of work so far, three short plays centred on women and the very different lives they can take.  The three pieces starred Donna Lesley Price, Jennifer Bea and Kayla Keatley as the main focus of the stories and all three actors, writers and Grin Theatre themselves received, quite rightly, much acclaim for what they produced.

Grin Theatre Presents Their New Play, Tongues, To Liverpool Audiences.

Grin Theatre Productions present their violent, imaginative and sickening voyage in to a warped mind, Tongues.

Written by Wes Williams (Sweats, Mexico, Push) and directed by Tony Blaney (Cinderella, Rat Pack Party, Blues Brothers Live) the play is homage to the horror genre and writer Wes Williams makes no apology for this; “It’s not just a question of scaring people or even grossing the audience out, it’s about the power of language, the power of corruption and ultimately the power of evil. Look beyond the shadows and the darkness of the play and each of the four characters develop as whole and rounded if dangerously flawed persona throughout.”
