50 minutesHaldane Theatre
Award-winning, five-star production of two one-acts by a Pulitzer Prize winner. The first, a two-hander, captures a pre-dawn hotel room encounter between a couple. The second, a monologue, is set in a Manhattan police station, where a tense interrogation becomes a searching exploration of love, identity and human connection. Distinct in tone yet thematically linked, these plays trace private moments when ordinary lives are tested and reshaped. ‘Tragic themes… superbly acted’ (The Student Newspaper). ‘Stoner gives a superb performance’ (TheReviewsHub.com).

About the show

Who We Become presents two short plays by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lanford Wilson, produced by Deep Flight Productions. The first, Breakfast at the Track, is a two-hander set in a pre-dawn hotel room capturing a private encounter between a couple. The second, A Poster of the Cosmos, is a monologue set in a Manhattan police station in which a tense interrogation becomes a searching exploration of love, identity and human connection. Distinct in tone but thematically linked, the two pieces trace private moments when ordinary lives are tested and reshaped. Runs for 50 minutes at Haldane Theatre and is suitable for audiences aged 18 and over.

Why see this show?

Two compact and carefully matched plays that find big emotional territory in small, contained scenes. The move from a quiet hotel room to a police interrogation makes for an affecting and thoughtfully curated double bill.
