Shane Bosher, the dynamic artistic director of Silo Theatre, will finish his tenure at the theatre company early next year, but right now his focus is on the production of Speaking in Tongues. Starring Oliver Driver, Stephen Lovatt, Alison Bruce and Luanne Gordon, the play - written by Australian Andrew Bovell and inspired by the work of film-maker Robert Altman - looks at complex games of deceit and desire. (It was the basis of the award-winning film, Lantana.) Bosher, known for his visually arresting productions, has an equally visually compelling list of favourite things, from busy bookshelves to a Martin Horspool sculpture made from an old-school fish slice.
Speaking in Tongues is at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre until September 14. Tickets from 0800 BUYTICKETS or buytickets.co.nz
