Text by Sonia Hughes

ENTITLED is a piece of theatre about hope, privilege and disappointment. It’s about rights, and the wrongs that can deny them. It takes the form of a get-in and a get-out: the usually hidden process of transforming a theatre from an empty space into a stage for a show - and back again. ENTITLED is Quarantine’s second collaboration with philosopher Dr Michael Brady.

WHEREVER they Quarantine of Salford tend to put up a marquee, and create the feeling of a community get-together; and the result is a unique and delightful form of theatre that sits right on the cutting-edge of debate about what we mean by performance, but is still as unpretentious and accessible as a good community show. So this time around, Quarantine assemble a cast of four elderly women from Salford with stories to tell and wisdom to transmit, and three teenage girls who form a loud, metallic rock band. They're assisted by alive parrot, a giant pile of soft toys and a bagful of toy furry rabbits that squeak and hop around the floor. And for 80 minutes, in a deceptively informal but in fact tightly-structured sequence, they reflect on their lives, ask searching questions, lash out a few songs and share a cup of tea with the audience.

Susan Pritchard is Darren Pritchard's mother. She is 52 and he is 28. Darren lives at home with Susan, in the house he grew up in. Darren is a dancer and Susan is a cleaner. They dance together at home to Althea and Donna, John Holt and Diana Ross. You'd spot that they were mother and son instantly. You are invited to help Susan and Darren prepare for one of their famous parties. Along the way there will be devastation, intimate conversation and a lovely buffet. Friends and neighbours might pop in. Come and join the party. Susan & Darren is an event with dancing created with and performed by Darren Pritchard and his mum, Susan. Quarantine and Company Fierce join forces with writer Sonia Hughes and choreographer Jane Mason to invent a kind of performance where real life doesn't stop when the show starts.
