Tongues and its companion piece, Savage/Love are more 'theatre pieces' than plays. They are the outcome of Shepard's and Chaikin's experiments with a dramatic form stripped of accessories, of plot elements and physical action, reduced to essentials of sound and utterance. They were first performed in San Francisco in 1978.
