An ‘event with dancing’, Susan & Darren was created with and performed by dancer Darren Pritchard and his mum, Susan, a cleaner. Audiences are invited to help Susan and Darren prepare for a party, join them for a buffet, chat, drink and a dance after the show. Friends and neighbours pop in via video interviews.

"Go out of your way to see it.”Donald Hutera, The Times
“At times their closeness is almost unbearable. 'What will you miss about me when I’m gone?' Susan asks. 'Most of all, dancing with you,' says Darren.”Luke Jennings, The Observer“
Susan & Darren feels wonderfully fresh and unscripted: they just talk to us, even when they’re acknowledging how theatrical this is.”Zoe Anderson, The Independent
