"We’re not the new normal. We’re the new f-cking extraordinary."



Zeb and Eoin have met, kissed, fallen in love, moved in, got married. What’s next?



Zeb will be Fun Daddy. Eoin will be Serious Daddy.



Beth’s job is to decide if they are “appropriate” Daddies at all.



Together they all navigate the precarious road to adoption and queer parenthood, forced to lay bare fears and secrets.



Written by Barry McStay (Vespertilio), and directed by Tom Ratcliffe (Fame Whore), Breeding is a funny, moving drama that premiered in 2023 to critical acclaim and is back at The King's Head by popular demand.
