Stuff and Nonsense is a delightful 45-minute physical theatre piece created and performed by David Hughes. This simple and beautifully premised piece of whimsy premiered in 1997 at the Fredericton Playhouse Theatre.
“Take kids to see it; they’ll rarely have a better chance to see what real theatre can be.” The NB Telegraph Journal
The stage is littered with very special props: a butterfly net, a vase of flowers, a violin, a magician’s table and a big, silver garbage can, to name a few. An old guy appears. One one one he embarks on an adventure with each of the props, triggering memories, imagination, tears and laughter.
“We have programmed Stuff and Nonsense to be during the daytime for the family crowd,” says Producer Webb. “It’s such a magical little show, with a great running length for children and their parents. An 11am showtime means that you’ll be able to see the show and still be home in time for lunch and then an afternoon of Summer fun.”
David Hughes has been a theatre professional for 50 years, working across the East Coast, including appearances at Neptune Theatre, Live Bait Theatre, 2b Theatre and Theatre New Brunswick.
Karen Bassett has a history of physical theatre training and is delighted to join David on Stuff and Nonsense. “When David asked me to direct it I was flattered,” she says. “David is a precise, conscientious, giving performer. I have always been a lover of physical theatre; some of my favourite shows to perform are clown & dance. Stuff and Nonsense is a gentle mix of the two.”
Stuff and Nonsense is honest, funny, sometimes heartbreaking, always delightful.
