Breadcrumbs now in Iceland
Originally produced April 2026 by Off The Wall and Viva Holding in Pittsburgh

Follow the trail… if you dare. BREADCRUMBS, the haunting, lyrical play by Jennifer Haley, comes to Tjarnarbio, Reykjavik for a limited engagement.
A poetic story about the relationship between two complicated women. Alida is a reclusive fiction writer who has been diagnosed with dementia. She begrudgingly must depend upon Beth, a troubled young caregiver who offers to help Alida complete her autobiography. Together they delve into the dark woods of Alida's past, unearthing a tragedy that shatters their notions of language, loneliness, and essential self.
The show is getting rave reviews in Iceland:
MORGUNBLAÐIÐ, Reykjavik
Breadcrumbs is a beautiful and powerful work; it begins with what seems like a clichéd torrent of words, but gradually those words coalesce into a meaningful whole. Through impressive acting and memorable characters, the play sensitively captures both the transience of life and the human need for connection with others.
