About

Written during Donald Trump’s first term in office, Do You Feel Anger? is a surreal dark comedy exploring whether you can achieve compromise, without compromising your values.

Sofia is an empathy coach, hired to help a debt collection agency stop screaming at people on the phone. Whilst dealing with her own family difficulties, she is determined to teach the employees emotions beyond anger, hunger and horn. But the longer she struggles to make change happen, the more she finds herself drawn into the dangerous absurdity of what passes for normal.

Eva: Rhiannon Lewis
Howie: Simon Berry
Jordan: Sarmed Hyder
Jon: Martin Peacock
Janie / Sofia’s mum: Jenni Wredden

Breathing Room is a new devised ensemble play about the messiness of adulthood.
