Synopsis
"We’ve got to make something out of nothing. And when the lights go down and the music stops, we’ve got to leave this place just as we found it......" Entitledis 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. Quarantine is a Manchester-based theatre company that works all over the world. Their remarkable work confronts the here and now. It puts people who have never performed before side-by-side with virtuosos.
