Breach Theatre

Inspired by the Dolphin House experiments, Breach Theatre’s Fringe First award-winning show rips history apart to explore the difficulties of bridging cultural divides, the politics behind the stories we tell, and what happens when you inject a dolphin with LSD.

In 1965, an American scientist lived with a dolphin for ten weeks to try and teach him to speak English – part of a NASA-funded research project into human-animal communication. Condemned by the wider scientific community as an elaborate circus trick, Margaret’s lessons with Peter remain a controversial episode in the space race between the two Cold War superpowers.

Breach Theatre return to The Wardrobe Theatre after The Beanfield.
