  • Originally commissioned by Belloo Creative, Biting Tongues asks the question: when it comes to family, what is truly unforgiveable?

    This sharp family drama follows Gemma, who is trying to make the best of what could be her last moments with her grandmother, until Grandma Olive makes a request her granddaughter desperately wants to refuse. But can anyone really refuse their dying grandmother’s wishes?

    This new work is being developed by Maddi Jane Romcke (Deal or Ordeal, Maddie is the New Karen).
