The Breach
Play Description
Love has no limits for the Diggs siblings: there's nothing that 17-year-old Jude won't do to keep her younger brother Acton safe. Growing up in the turbulence of 1970s America, Jude works nights and weekends to pay the bills, just so that they can stay together and with their mother. But when Acton's troublesome pals form a club in their basement, a foolish game threatens to upend Jude's plans and derail their lives forever. How far will Jude go to protect her brother? And who will pay the eventual price of her doing so? As trust and loyalty are put on the line, hindsight proves devastating in Naomi Wallace's absorbing, coming-of-age drama THE BREACH.

Play Description
A young man who sows his wild oats is a hero — every woman he beds is a medal. The more medals, the bigger the hero. But a woman who does the same? Not a hero. The exact opposite. Some things never change. Nell has fallen so deeply in love with Brent that every man she sees reminds her of him. Sleeping with every man who reminds her of him — which is every man — is an act of love and belief for her. But that’s not the way the world sees it. Her sister, Coco, comes back to their childhood home in Texas to rescue her, but Nell doesn’t want rescuing. She wants to be alive. And then two men arrive who may be everything both sisters have been dreaming of. Nell will have to choose between the perfect, vivid life of obsession and the every-day world where love is less destructive, less powerful, but real.
