The University of Lethbridge explores grief and loss in their last main stage production of the season, “In Tongues,” which runs March 17-21 in the University Theatre.
“In Tongues” was written by U of L graduate James Odin Wade who graduated from the U of L in 2011 with a FFA multi-disciplinary degree.
Assistant director Jake Rose noted the five cast member play75 minute play combines elements of thriller, murder mystery and ghost story.
“ But it’s also quite funny,” said Rose, who enjoyed working with playwright James Odin Wade.
“It’s the world premiere of the lay. We workshopped it here. It was a collaborative process. So it was really exciting to receive notes and scenes, even though I live here and he lives in New York,” said Rose, an award winning playwright himself.
Rose won third place and $25 in this year’s uLethbridge Play Right Prize competition.
“ It’s been an exciting process. We’ve collaborated a lot on it, sending new drafts,” Rose continued.
