The Things People Say

By Curious Doings

 

Inconvenient truths...empty promises…careless whispers...and outright lies…

 

Veering wildly from the ridiculous to the sublime, THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY rips up the theatre rulebook and makes paper aeroplanes from its pages.

 

THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY is a devised performance exploring the idea of what people say and the impact that can have on themselves, those around them, and the wider society. From famous speeches to local gossip, the show looks at our relationship to language and the power of words.

 

A bold and breathless experiment in theatre making and performance, together a group of performers explore, collaborate and devise to create a unique and original piece of theatre not to be missed!

 

Approx. running time: 50 minutes

 

 

Available for touring!
