"Should I go now?
Or have tonight
then go tomorrow and not come back?"
Samuel and Anthony ended it. Now what? What does it mean to break-up and not break-away? Trapped inside a post-breakup limbo, Breeding looks at a young couple’s relationship after their ‘relationship’.
Breeding premiered as part of a digital showcase in July 2020, produced by Swings&Roundabouts, directed by Joseph Winer, performed by Jacob Seelochan and George Fletcher. It was subsequently performed at Watford Palace Theatre in September 2021, performed by Jack Harrold and Miguel Barrulas.
