What did our critic think of ORIGINAL PRODUCTION THEATRE'S BACK TALK at Abbey Theater Of Dublin? OPT found a small but powerful quartet of actors to bring Ackerman’s script to life.
BackTalk is a delicious comedy that dives into the hilariously complicated world of first impressions, second chances, and the voices in our heads that just won’t let us be.
“We all have voices in our heads. Even the people who say they don't have (that inner voice), have one. You have these little suggestions you get from somewhere that aren’t from you. In BACKTALK, we have a double love story between our inner life and our buttoned up life, and that plays out on stage.” --Rob Ackerman
