On an island off the coast of Ireland in 1615, Fintan finds a young man washed up on the beach. With no memory of who he is or where he came from, Fintan brings Rossa home, where he slowly mends from the apparent shipwreck. But Rossa’s presence turns suspicious when Fintan’s daughter, Niamh, starts growing scales. The rain won’t stop. The ocean is angry. And something is not right with Rossa.

Salt Tongue is a horror play cut with dark comedy. It asks questions about identity, the body, and what defines a person.
