Breathing In is an English play by Reza de Wet.
A play about relationships and survival during the Anglo-Boer War, it is a variation/adaptation of the theme of Nag, Generaal by the same author.
First produced by The First Physical Theatre Company and Baxter Theatre at the Baxter Theatre and Grahamstown Festival in 2004, directed by Marthinus Basson with Antoinette Kellermann (as Anna), Jenny Stead, Grethe Fox, Mark Hoeben and Ashley Waterman.
