Graham Eatough is a prolific collaborator. He began his artistic career as a co- founder with writer David Greig and composer Nick Powell of the innovative theatre company Suspect Culture (1992-2009). Over the last decade, while continuing to write and direct stage productions, he has also expanded his activities onto a blend of performance, film, installation and visual art. He has worked with, among others, some of the best known of his fellow Glaswegian artists, such as Graham Fagen and Simon Starling, and most recently with Stephen Sutcliffe. Their two short films No End to Enderby, a tribute to the Manchester-born novelist Anthony Burgess, were shown at the Whitworth as part of Manchester International Festival 2017.
