After a panic attack in Primark, a person finds themselves spiralling into a new affliction – shopophobia – embarking on a surreal journey through supermarket standoffs, dumpster diving, and Jedi-fuelled revelations.

This razor-sharp, darkly hilarious show – dives headfirst into the chaos of modern capitalism, identity, and our strange addiction to stuff. Told with wit, rage, and warmth, part stand-up/part social satire, it’s a wild, laugh-out-loud ride through consumer-collapse and searching for something real among the reduced stickers.

‘Watching Stage2 is a joy, working with them is a gift. They speak individually and collectively of optimism, cooperation and belief.’ C.Dowie
