Grin Theatre Company Brings Back Its Stage Horror Just In Time For Halloween.

The devil is out to play this Halloween as Liverpool based Grin Theatre brings back its critically acclaimed “video nasty for the stage” Tongues, written by Wes Williams and directed by Tony Blaney.

Tongues is the story of three people, Mark Cottingham, a young man held in a psychiatric unit played by Eddie Fortune, disturbed priest Father Liam played by Dale Grant and Dr. Eva Richmond, a counsellor supporting Mark and played by Helen Kerr. All three are battling individual and very different demons which manifest in the guise of Max played by Adam Vinten.

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.”

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Charlie Griffiths

For anyone who has caught Charlie Griffiths either on stage in one of her many theatre productions or hearing her sing as part of the duo Killa Sista, it is easy to see why so many critics and, more importantly, audiences love her. She has numerous credits to her name, her first television appearance in Children’s Ward at the age of 13 led onto other  television roles. Her love of theatre has seen her star in Road as Helen, the title role in Everyman, Emma in A Liverpool Tale and Gloria in Return To Forbidden Planet.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Suppement. An Interview With Eddie John Fortune.

Eddie John Fortune is one of the new wave of Liverpool actors whose voice is being heard and his reputation enhanced by productions such as Elastic Bridge and Love Me Do (in which he portrayed the city’s legendry Brian Epstein.) He is in rehearsals for the new Keifer Williams play Tongues, directed by his dear friend Joe Shipman, and which will be coming to the theatre next year and in which he will act alongside one of his co-stars from Love Me Do, the impressive Charlie Griffiths. If that wasn’t enough for one man to be getting on with, he is developing his own stand-up comedy character Gwillam Dorey which is about a gay Welshman with a fatal attraction towards Glenn Close.
