Breeding is a funny, moving drama about parenthood, queer families and enduring love.

Following an acclaimed run in 2023, this new production comes back to the King’s Head Theatre directed by Tom Ratcliffe (Fame Whore).

Written by Barry McStay (Vespertilio), Breeding asks how far you will go to have a family? Especially within a system that doesn’t seem built for you.

Breeding is running at the King’s Head from 21 March to 14 April 2024.

Zeb & Eoin have met, kissed, fallen in love, moved in, got married… What’s next?

Zeb will be Fun Daddy.

Eoin will be Serious Daddy.

Beth’s job is to decide if they get to be Daddies at all.

Together they navigate the exposing road to adoption, forced to lay bare fears and secrets, all in the hope of being deemed “appropriate” parents.
