Peak Stuff

One performer and three stories about young people’s relationship with stuff...

Alice is done with fast fashion. Ben can’t stop buying trainers. And Charlie just wants to sell out...one organ at a time. Peak Stuff presents three fast-paced, funny, f***ed-up stories, taking a deep-dive into consumer culture. In an age of thrifting, retail therapy, climate crisis and click and collect – how does ‘stuff’ define us? And do we know when to stop?

Award-winning theatre company ThickSkin have teamed up with the writing talents of Billie Collins (Too Much World at Once) to produce a visually thrilling and inventive show. Underscored by live drumming and featuring a spectacular video design, one actor performs multiple stories to chip away at the role consumer culture plays in shaping our identity.

Directed by ThickSkin’s Neil Bettles (How Not to Drown, The Unreturning), Peak Stuff is a tale for modern times.

Contains occasional strong language, flashing images and loud music. Ages 14+
