Susan is terrific - brilliant at what she does and a great team member too. I look forward to having the pleasure of working with her again.

Gail Sixsmith

I have known Susan for many years and had the good fortune to perform with her at Manchester in Animal Crackers and at Coventry Belgrade. She is an imaginative and highly skilled theatre physical theatre practitioner and is a brilliant comedienne. I think she is a true original who makes mad cap physical comedy that will never fail to entertain.

      Susan Swanton and Isabel Ford joined forces to write Mother F which is a physical theatre production about the relationship between a mother and a child. It is a comic, wry look at all of the different types of mothers. It's about the mother you desire, the mother you want to dump, the mother you revere, your own mother, your best friend's mother and the mother that you are and the mother of all mothers.

      The Cabaret of Dr Caligari is a street theatre piece that was made at the Lantern House in the Lakes and premiered at the Lakes Alive Festival there in August 2009. 2010 saw Caligari touring to various street festivals around the UK from April onwards including Lakes Alive. It is a bizarre cabaret show with a German Expressionist flavour.
