STUFF
A 100 Watt Production, Featuring The Youth Ensemble
Directed by Kristina Watt Villegas
Show art by Sophie Dean
STUFF is about…our stuff. It’s about our attachment to material possessions, consumption, and confusing need with greed. Meanwhile, this living thing called planet Earth pays the price. But you know all this. So. Imagine a time in the future (a future that could be now) in which teens all over the world (TTF’s, Teenage Task Forces) unite with one goal: to eliminate stuff.
And one more more thing: STUFF is about being human: the “I am because I have”, power imbalances, and the challenge of letting go.
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is an exuberant comedy and feminist revisioning of Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo and Juliet. It takes us from a dusty office in Canada’s Queen’s University, into the fraught and furious worlds of two of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies, and turns them upside-down.
