About this show

In. Out. In. Out. Can You Teach Me How To Breathe? follows four people trapped on a submarine, slowly sinking deeper into the ocean. Though eager to fix their situation, none of them know how. None of them know why they're on a submarine at all. With nothing to do but wait, they begin to open up about their theories and opinions – only to return to the same sinking feeling that's followed them all their lives.
