Collar Bone (The Bread & Roses Theatre)

Collar Bone is a gripping, one-act play about coercive control, emotional manipulation, and the blurred lines between affection and abuse. When Nora meets the charming, unpredictable Casey while working reception at a hostel, she is pulled into a relationship that becomes increasingly difficult to define — and harder to escape. Infused with dry humour, raw honesty, and a piercing sense of realism, Collar Bone explores how control can feel like care, and how hard it can be to recognise the difference when you're in the middle of it. A timely, female-led production for audiences who value bold, contemporary theatre.
