Hosted by Quarantine, a Manchester-based award-winning theatre and performance company – who have had their name for the past 21 years – No Such Thing – The Distance Edition is an online version of an event that usually happens monthly in a curry café in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

Talk about what’s happening in the world, in our lives and stuff that’s on our minds.

It’s about the familiar pleasure of sharing food and the art of conversation – simple things we’re all missing right now.
