Breathing Corpses

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Breathing Corpses is a 2005 play by the British playwright Laura Wade which first premiered at the Royal Court Theatre.[1]

The play traces backwards, starting from the discovery of a corpse of a man named Jim in a hotel room by the seemingly cursed and talkative hotel maid Amy. Each successive scene explains the previous scene: it follows the story of Jim, and the corpse of a young woman whom Jim found himself in his storage warehouse, which drove him to suicide in the first place.[2][3]
