On Friday 19 October the Eastgate Theatre in Peebles presents the World Premiere of STUFF a play by an award-winning creative team that explores the hoarding of memories, emotions and things. STUFF is the new play by Sylvia Dow, directed by Muriel Romanes and designed by renowned artist John Byrne.  The idea came from a simple poster with the word mess on it. It led Sylvia to think about the difference between most people who have a lot of stuff in storage and some people with a hoarding disorder where everything has equal value and so everything must be kept.  Muriel was intrigued by the idea and the concept took physical shape when John Byrne came up with a series of boxes each holding its own art installation.

The Eastgate Theatre, the busiest arts venue in the South of Scotland, is seeking new people to join the Board of Directors and influence the theatre’s future.

A year after they first strutted their stuff on the Eastgate Theatre stage, the Lady Boys of Bangkok return with two performances on Wednesday 29 August, one at 5pm and the other at 8pm.
