The play ‘Every Breath’ by
Judith Johnson explores the serious social, moral,
scientific and political questions
raised by the use
of animals in medical research, and is the fifth in
the Theatre of Debate™ series of projects developed
and produced by Y Touring.
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.

‘Every Breath’ has been specifically designed
to be a valuable cross-curricular learning tool with
particular relevance to the Science (particularly the
new 'Twenty First Century Science' curriculum developed
by the Nuffield Institute in partnership with OCR),

You can download a preparatory lesson, suggested lessons
and discussion triggers from the Resources

has been made possible by the Wellcome Trust. The podcast

"The
audience responded with howls of laughter and
shrieks
of delight and the discussion
at the
end was full of passion and intelligence."
