Speak

by Greg Nelson

A floundering marriage…. A Christian politician…. Regina, Saskatchewan. These are the ingredients of speak. James and Sarah are barely married, but already they’re in trouble. Arriving in Regina, from Toronto, Sarah seeks the truth about her husband’s shady past. She encounters Lloyd, a Saskatchewan MLA who has all the answers. Before long, they’re all getting far more than they bargained for as they spiral down into the seedy and secret side of personal and provincial politics. Full of deception and intrigue, speak is a razor-sharp social comedy.

“Nelson's neatly layered script transcends the boundaries of political satire and reveals the charlatan in all of us. This is theatre at its finest; the kind that stings a little and makes us re-examine those uncomfortable words like impostor, hypocrite, fraud.”

See Magazine, Edmonton

“…smart social comedy… a well-crafted evening of theatre.” —The Globe & Mail
