Here's what the reviewers had to say about our London run of 'Speaking in Tongues'...

"*****Swivel chairs and reverse theatre-in-the-round... is no gimmick, as it enables the audience to be completely immersed in the storytelling." Female Arts

"It turns the play into a truly immersive experience;...the action literally taking place all around us, so it’s much easier to see how scenes mirror each other, and to get caught up in the drama." (does not star reviews) Blog of Theatre Things

"****Caps must be doffed to director Kathleen Douglas for being bold and forthright with a subject that deserves no less. Her talents have been well served by a consummate cast." London Theatre 1

"****The strongest aspect of this play was that of the performers – Phil Aizlewood, Ben Elder, Georgina Periam and Kate Austen. Their passionate performances were spectacular." London Theatre 1
