Increasingly concerned by the use of animals in biomedical research, 18-year old Sonny has begun protesting against a new laboratory that has been built in the area.  However, his ideals put him on a direct collision course with his scientist sister, Anita, creating a conflict that threatens to tear the family apart.

Every Breath was a gripping and humorous family drama by award-winning playwright Judith Johnson, which explored the use of animals in biomedical research, creating a thought-provoking debate on the most divisive of contemporary issues.
