Common Tongue

Common Tongue is a play aboot imperfect Scots. 
  
A fast-paced and quick-witted one-person show exploring the impact of language, identity and their intersections in Scotland. 
  
Common Tongue follows Bonnie as she navigates her relationship with the way she speaks, coming to grips with the implications of her culture, and how much she can claim it or ignore it. 
  
Bonnie’s life has been defined by wirds; the richt wans, the wrang wans, aun the wans used against her. Now, Bonnie haes a chance to speak aboot it. But the last time she done any public speaking wis a solo talk in Primary School. 
  
This time roon she’s no really sure whit she’s gonnae say, oar even how she’s gonnae say it. 
  
Written and directed by Fraser Scott, this ‘quick-witted, damning, and gorgeous’ (Corr Blimey) play is delivered with deft humour and big heart.
