Milk No Sugar are a West Midlands based theatre company – celebrating queer histories through provocative, archive based performances in theatres & beyond.
They are presenting Breeders as part of See It First 2025. Developed through Louis’ (writer of Breeders) residency with Shout Festival, the piece began as an oral histories project, evolved into a community sharing at The Nightingale, and recently had an R&D at Stan’s Cafe. Community collaboration has been at its heart throughout.
