About this show
One man's attempt to say tongue twisters in as many different languages as possible. Whilst also trying to dance. And make music. And do all the costume changes without leaving the stage. A delight for the eyes and ears, created and performed by award-winning performance artist and musician Greg Sinclair, and featuring dazzling costumes and innovative visual design. Humorous, colourful, rhythmical and odd, Tongue Twister is a celebration of the musical beauty of language. Produced by Scottish Theatre Producers. Commissioned by Imaginate in partnership with Aberdeen Performing Arts, in association with Kloden Teater. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com

— Theatre in Edinburgh (4 out of 5 stars)
This is the ideal family show; it’s fun for children, while the deeper message about multilingualism and internationalism, while never made too explicit, is definitely there if you want to look for it.
