SPEAK BITTERNESS
“Speak Bitterness shows a group of seven penitents whose enormous task it is to confess to everything. They are by turns cowed, breezy, anguished, reluctant, jovial and of course determined. The text they work from lies somewhere between a mad catalogue of unlikely human infamy and the transcript perhaps of some strange and comical show-trial.” Tim Etchells for Forced Entertainment
“Speak Bitterness is an absolutely riveting performance in so many ways; unpretentious yet very self-aware, ambiguous yet strongly political, it is Forced Ents both drawing a line, telling us why and taking the fight on.” Liveart magazine (Great Britain), 1997
“Britain’s most brilliant experimental company.” The Guardian (Great Britain), 1996
