Cursing and swearing have been a part of language and expression since the first sounds emerged from the throat. How we react to swearing says much about our attitudes to social class, gender, sexism, prejudice, judgement and morality. The SWEARING FESTIVAL is a febrile trip into the mouth of foul language in literature, movies, music and the culture.
