Following their unforgettable show Susan & Darren (Nuffield Theatre 2007), Quarantine are back with their latest theatre piece, the dark and joyous Make-believe.
Exploring big ideas through personal histories, Make-believe is performed by an extraordinary cast including real-life partners Yusra Warsama and Marcus Hercules, and their 2-year-old son Jaziel, and asks some tricky questions:-
- What do you believe in?
- How do we manage to live together when we disagree so wildly with each other?
- How do you separate the real from the made-up in a piece of theatre?
Make-believe is a performance where real life doesn't stop when the show starts. Working with philosopher Dr Michael Brady and writer Sonia Hughes, the company try to find out how belief works and see how much courage we have in our convictions.
It's a stunning mash-up of loud dance, fast music and things you should only tell your best friend
A truly wonderful company that uses the lives and experiences of real people as the starting point for all their shows and who put their subjects centre stage and let them speak for themselves.
