Bás Tongue as part of ABSOLUT Fringe at Project Arts Centre

BÁS TONGUE -
http://www.projectartscentre.ie/programme/whats-on/1378-bas-tongue

Mother Tongue is in the emergency ward; each focal ag cryáil amach for the kiss of life. In this bilingual exploration of the fragile soul of Gaeilge, a Béarlóir and a subtitle operator slug it out with tongue tying, grammar wrestling, dictionary massacres and a mutant version of the Pepsi challenge. It's a celebration of language as weapon, chicaning into some farcical linguistics and a revelatory revival meeting for forgotten words. Fully subtitled bilingual theatre.

Praise for Magan's multi-award-nominated Broken Croí/Heart Briste.

"a nimble comic double act" Irish Times
"the most accessible and interesting Irish language play since An Triail" Sara Keating, ITM
