ThickSkin Theatre bring their brand-new, boundary-pushing production, Peak Stuff, to CFT from 15 - 17 Feb. One actor tells three stories that explore consumerism, accompanied by live drumming and cutting-edge AI video design. The tour kicked off last week, so you can hear how audiences reacted below and get a first look at the show in the production photos. Intrigued? Visit the show page for more details.

A stage is lit with orange and yellow lights and filled with smoky haze. A performer stands centre stage wearing baggy trousers, trainers and a checked shirt. They have their arms by their sides and their head tilted back with their eyes closed, as though praying or meditating. There is a geometric archway behind them and a drummer playing the drums.

Absolutely enthralling and fascinating piece

A performer sits on the stage, looking off to the left with a distant, thoughtul expression. They wear khaki trousers, a light coloured top and a checked shirt with white trainers. Behind them a blue strip is projected, which reads 'MurkyTurtle77: Selling it to me.'. A drum kit can be seen in the background.
