Synopsis:
The term white trash" is derogatory. But there is nothing at all derogatory about this latest piece from Quarantine, a company that specialises in weaving fictions from the real stuff and stories of people's everyday lives. Everywhere Quarantine delves, it uncovers the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary and banal. Using non-professional actors recruited through workshops in the Manchester area, and drawing strongly on their lives and stories, White Trash offers neither judgments nor sociology - and not a great deal of narrative either. However, in 90 minutes of stop-start energy, it gives a sideways glimpse into the hearts and souls of these youngsters, their complicated interlocking relationships, their ways of survival."
