Peak Stuff

Billie Collins

'I like having things. I like having lots of things. It reminds me that I'm... Y'know? A person.'

Alice is done with fast fashion. Ben can't stop buying trainers. And Charlie just wants to sell out... one organ at a time.

Billie Collins's play Peak Stuff is a fast-paced, funny, fearless deep-dive into consumer culture. In an age of retail therapy, climate crisis and click and collect - how does our 'stuff' define us? And have we reached peak stuff?

The play was commissioned by ThickSkin and Lawrence Batley Theatre, was a winner of the New Play Commission Scheme, and was first presented on tour of the UK in 2024.

'A serious and impressive play... Collins writes beautifully... Peak Stuff is no simple take-down of consumer culture but a rich analysis of alienation in the digital age' - Guardian

'Darkly funny, ambitious and appealingly offbeat' - The Stage
