This dance-drama piece choreographed by Jane Mason and directed by Carrie Cracknell is in danger of exploiting the stories it clumsily attempts to tell. It's based on a series of transcripts of 999 calls, and although those voices of terror and desperation, countered by compassionate efficiency at the other end of the telephone line, have a visceral charge, they are ill served by Cracknell and Mason's wispy interpretation. With its twitchings, rollings and undulations, performed on a Holly Waddington set that features phones resembling illuminated oxygen masks, 'Breathing Irregular' is a mess of physical-theatre cliché, expressing only a hackneyed simulacrum of anguish. It's a great shame that the treatment of the raw material isn't more inspired, because the juxtaposition of mundane or even grotesquely absurd detail with blood-thumping, life-changing catastrophe is arresting and poignant.
