About Breeders

Part documentary, part play, part late night dance party,  Breeders is a story about extinction. Fifty years apart, two couples meet on a dancefloor somewhere in Birmingham. Warm pints, sticky floors, loud music – you know the type. What follows is a deep dive into the nature of queer desire and the stories we tell about queerness, fertility, and our relationship with the future.
