Susan & Darren

It’s the best night out I can remember. I’m moved, almost to tears, by the honesty, directness and clarity in the performance, and had great fun at the party! This is poignancy unadorned. Extraordinary ordinary lives celebrating just being.
Miriam King, Total Theatre Magazine 2007

Susan & Darren is currently touring in the UK and Europe and can be seen at Auawirleben, Bern (Switzerland) and Norfolk and Norwich Festival.

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

Press Quotes:

Grounded in tenderness and humour, their show may be rough around the edges but has an exceptionally warm centre. Go out of your way to see it.
Donald Hutera, The Times 2010

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 2010

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  2010
