Embark on an epic journey through Europe with sisters Dana and Jasmine as they discover the true cost of principles in this twisted exploration of how we live now.
Starting with a seemingly innocent one night stand, this darkly witty and magical thriller by Zinnie Harris dives into recent European history.
THE NICE THINGS SOME SMART PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT THE SHOW
“Imaginative and pulsing with energy, How to Hold Your Breath is an insightful and powerful play that depicts a dystopian vision of the modern world.” ★★★★ Culture Whisper
THE ONES BEHIND THE MADNESS
Loud Mouth is a Tasmania-based theatre company committed to producing new, collaborative and professional theatre experiences.
Barging onto the local scene in 2014 with their hit debut ‘Venus In Fur’, Loud Mouth have continued to prove that they are here to stay.
“To me, Loud Mouth represents the future of theatre here and in them I see the next generation of professional Tasmanian theatre.”
– Charles Parkinson, Artistic Director, Tasmanian Theatre Company
THE QUOTABLE QUOTES FROM DIRECTOR JULIE WADDINGTON
“The writing is rich, clever and the journey is epic. I hadn’t been so excited by a script for a very long time. It also has two amazing roles for women – that appealed very much.”
“It will be intimate, at times sexy, at times funny and quirky, it is mysterious, a mystery and it asks lots of questions. It is devastating, horrific, violent, raw. I hope it will be a viceral experience and that it will stay with audiences long after they have left the theatre. I hope to make theatre that asks questions of the audience rather than assume the answers for them.”

• PAY WHAT YOU WANT
A LOUD MOUTH THEATRE COMPANY INITIATIVE
Ever walked out of a show and thought “that wasn’t worth the ticket price!” or, better, “I’d have paid TWICE the price for that!”?
This year, the power is finally in your hands. Each of our opening nights for our major shows will be door sales only, and you can decide what theatre is worth to you. Instead of paying before the show, we’ll
ask you to pay after, and the amount you fork out is entirely in your hands: with no minimum charge, if you can’t afford to, or don’t want to pay a cent, you don’t have to!
And if you’re so enwrapt you want to hand over your life savings, we will let you do that too! Because we care.
In part, we are doing this to try and make our shows more accessible and affordable. But we are also doing it to start a conversation with our audience about what art is worth, and how we all evaluate it differently.
Remember, this program is only available on our opening nights: standard ticket prices will apply to door sales for all other season dates.
