Breathing Corpses is an award-winning 2005 play by the British playwright Laura Wade which first premiered at the Royal Court Theatre.

Amy's found another body in a hotel bedroom. There's a funny smell coming from one of Jim's storage units. And Kate's losing it after spending all day with the police. There's no going back after what they've seen. Breathing Corpses was first performed at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Upstairs in February 2005.

"'[A] powerful new play… The clash between the tone of sadness and the tricksiness of the play’s structure gives the evening its undeniable edge.'" - The Stage

"'A highly intriguing new play'" - The Independent
