It's funny how sometimes you staun
up tae speak and you've got nae idea

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.
