This review is from: Speaking in Tongues - Acting Edition (Paperback)

I purchased this play because I will be going to the West End of London to see John Simm perform, along with Ian Hart,Kerry Fox and Lucy Cohu. It's a right nice little play, portraying depth of feeling and complexities of several couples' relationships. Infidelity and forgiveness, definition of love and trust are all part of it.It's thought provoking, with a few twists here and there. Once I see the stage performance, I plan to view the DVD Lantana.
