What happens when the things we covet hide us from ourselves?

Opening up to new experiences in her late-thirties, Sophie is exploring long repressed sides of herself. When a secret she’s keeping from those she loves, and even from herself, threatens to unravel it all, she must make a choice. Who or what will she decide to give up?

Breathless is a funny, honest, and stylish exploration of the knife-edge of hoarding, from the joy to the addiction and suffocating shame.

Review: CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Mar 14, 2026


The tail end of the 90s is shaking the walls of Southwark Playhouse’s studio space. Inspired by over 30 testimonies from Donnyites, and originally shortlisted for both the 2023 Women’s Prize for Playwriting and the 2024 New Diorama Untapped Award, Children of the Night is a thumping anthem to friendship and club culture. Post-Thatcherite Britain is on the cusp of the new millennium and the first heterosexual HIV cases are about to hit Doncaster, but Lindsay isn’t concerned. She is just desperate to dance with her friend. Danielle Phillips writes a tender coming-of-age story that doubles as a love letter to her beloved hometown.
