About me:

Based in Manchester, Quarantine makes and tours work nationally and internationally.

We work with both experienced performers and people who have never performed before. Using their personal histories and experiences, we invent a theatrical form that’s tailored to each piece – from intimate encounters to epic events. We often make theatre that blurs, exchanges or even removes the distinction between spectator and performer. Our past projects have included shared meals, family parties and a journey in the dark for one person at a time - as well as more conventional performances on stage, watched by audiences in seats.

Quarantine asks questions: about the world we live in, about who theatre is for – and who should make it. Because of its form, content and the people who make and engage with what we do, we see Quarantine’s theatre as social action as well as artistic reflection.

Quarantine is regularly funded by Arts Council England.

Quarantine has created a series of shows excavating the lives of real people and we’ve never seen one of these fragile, beautiful performances that wasn’t an outright winner.

Who I'd like to meet:

URGENT - please help if you can!!!

Quarantine are urgently seeking a pair of well-used red theatre curtains - between 4m - 5m width each and 3.5m drop, for our next piece Make-believe. We'll consider any condition!!! If you can help or know someone who might, please email our Production Manager, Greg Akehurst: greg@qtine.com. Thanks!

Both Richard and Renny are sending work out soon. Richard has just completed 2 weeks of rehearsal for Make-believe - a show which asks some tricky questions about birth, death and everything in between. Make-believe opens at Contact in Manchester on the 28th October before going on tour. Details at http://www.qtine.com/current/

Renny's new installation The Soldier's Song is continuing to tour and will appear at Lancaster Business School on and Leeds on the 13th and 14th October, Lancaster city centre on the 16th and 17th and Leeds Met University from the 30th November. Details at http://www.qtine.com/soldiers1
