Quentin Who?
Good question.
Quentin Beroud (who definitely didn’t write this himself) is a writer and director based in London. Half French and half British, he has been working in theatre for 10+ years. He has worked extensively at Arcola Theatre in East London, including his Cabaret/Revenge-Thriller based on the Odyssey Fabulous Creatures (2024), co-created with collaborator Emily Louizou. Before that, his translation and adaptation of Marivaux’s classic farce The Game of Love & Chance (2021), co-created with Jack Gamble (another frequent partner in crime), opened the Arcola’s Outside space post-Covid.
More recently he has started working on screen projects, reuniting with Jonny Labey, who he directed in Verge of Strife at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, to co-write the script of Jonny’s Jersey-based short We All Scream, which is in post-production. Having caught the film-making bug (virus? Plague?), he wrote and directed Decorum, starring Jonny and Margi Barbieri, and produced by Liam George. Decorum is his first short as director, and is also currently in post-production.
Outside creative pursuits, he enjoys reading coffee, black dogs, and taking his books for a walk.

Why all the Penguins?
And why are they so angry?


He's the grumpy penguin. That's all there is to it. I've been drawing him since I was in year 8, and he's never been happy since.
