Dictionary of The Vulgar Tongue Takes the Stage
Dictionary of The Vulgar Tongue is a production that commands attention from its title alone. Drawn from the notorious 1785 lexicon compiled by Francis Grose — a ribald, irreverent, and surprisingly illuminating catalog of 18th-century British slang — this show transforms historical language into living, breathing theater. The production uses the raw material of Grose's dictionary as a lens through which to examine class, identity, power, and the enduring human need to name the world on our own terms.
This is the kind of theatrical work that the Alliance Theatre was built to present. Smart, layered, and genuinely entertaining, Dictionary of The Vulgar Tongue at Alliance Theatre is the rare production that rewards both casual theatergoers and devoted students of the form. The show is witty where it needs to be witty, sobering where it needs to be sobering, and always fiercely alive on stage.
Atlanta audiences have a long history of embracing adventurous, intellectually ambitious theater, and Dictionary of The Vulgar Tongue fits squarely within that tradition. This is not a production to experience secondhand through reviews — it is one to see in person, in one of the country's great theater venues, on April 18, 2027.
