“To love. To be loved. Difficult things”.

In the haze of a late summer in a London garden, the apples have all fallen to the ground. It is the day of Daddy’s funeral, and two orphans find themselves suddenly alone, with nobody to cling to but each other.

Embracing the painful uncertainties that often characterise our closest relationships, Holman paints a delicate and heart-breaking portrait of two young men desperately trying to navigate themselves, one another, and the world.

In the next instalment of our Robert Holman series, following the sell-out 'Being Friends' last autumn, we are delighted to present A Breakfast of Eels. Nominated for Two Off West-End awards, Holman’s beautiful two-hander was first performed in 2015 at the Coronet Theatre, in London, to critical acclaim.
