"Because we need to know. We need to understand"
Increasingly concerned by the use of animals in biomedical
research, 18-year-old Sonny has begun protesting
against the new laboratory that has been built in
the area. His ideals put him on a collision course
with his scientist sister, Anita, creating a conflict
that threatens to tear the family apart.
Set against an instantly recognisable background of
family life and pressures, Judith Johnson's play takes
a difficult subject and looks at both sides of the
arguement. The result is a thought-provoking even-handed
debate on one of the most divisive of contemporary
issues.
Every Breath was commissioned by Central YMCA's theatre
company Y Touring and has impressed audiences wherever
it has played in theatres, community groups and schools.
'The students responded with howls of laughter and
shrieks of delight and the discussion at the end was
full of passion and intelligence'
The Guardian
This edition includes a comprehensive collection of
educational resources to help foster discussion about
the many fascinating themes raised by the play.
