Tongue
In response to Shakespeare's Sonnet 140, Lee Mattinson's drama about a man trying to find his way home from a nightclub, pursued by a talking tongue. Reader: Maxine Peake.
Five short, edgy contemporary dramas taking place in the city from sunset to sunrise. In collaboration with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic five writers team with composers and respond to Shakespeare's most powerful sonnets.
The fourth drama in the series 'Tongue' is a response to Shakespeare's Sonnet 140 written by Lee Mattinson with music composed by Chiu-Yu Chou.
It's 3am, the height of the mistake-making hour, and in a sweat-drenched club Noel has bitten off someone's tongue. Consumed by jealousy and rage, Noel tries to find his way home, which isn't so easy when you are blind, high on drugs and being pursued by a talking tongue.
