Raised by a brand-loving mother and a hippy father, Chiara grew up between ideals and shopping bags. Twenty years in market research later, she’s still torn about what—and how much—we buy. Drawing on a life spanning 1980s Italy, global consumer research, immigration, and motherhood, Stuffed explores our complicated love affair with things. Funny, personal, and quietly urgent, the play asks how we live with stuff in a world where there is no Planet B.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
