Breathing Corpses

Amy's found another body in a hotel bedroom.
There's a funny smell coming from one of Jim's storage units.
And Kate's losing it after spending all day with the police.
There's no going back after what they've seen.

Breathing Corpses was first performed at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Upstairs in February 2005.
