Fishamble brings Amy Kidd’s groundbreaking first play, Breaking, to The Everyman
You can be a bit naïve sometimes.
Welcome to the world of Sam and Charlie in Breaking, a groundbreaking first play by Amy Kidd. It looks like love, but it tastes like control. How do we judge, when we can’t trust our own judgment? Who do we distrust and who gets the benefit of the doubt?
Fishamble’s world premiere of Breaking asks fascinating and profound questions about how we navigate a world without any simple answers. Only two characters appear - Sam and Charlie - played by an ensemble cast. When scenes are replayed in different combinations, do we interpret them differently? Does gender, sexuality, age or ethnicity alter our perception? What does that say about how we perceive the world? How do we find solid ground to judge?
