Common Tongue

It’s funny how sometimes you staun up tae speak and you’ve got nae idea whit’s gonnae come oot yer mooth Common Tongue - 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. This edition was published to coincide with the Scottish tour in September 2025.
