Camden People’s Theatre

'The true founder of civil society was the first man who, having enclosed a piece of land, thought of saying, ‘This is mine’, and came across people simple enough to believe him’. Discourse on Inequality by Jean Jacques Rousseau.

Set on a rubbish tip THIS IS MINE takes us into an absurd world where the rubbish itself has become a commodity worth fighting for. Three characters have the choice of living in harmony and working together, or competing to take over and repress their fellow inhabitants for their own benefit. The play takes an absurd view of common themes and distils our social niceties down to our more primal instincts and needs.

Big Nonsense are Amee Smith, Darren Rapier and Stuart Murdoch, three experienced devisors who have devised and developed This is Mine through workshops; amalgamating the talents of director, writer and actor to produce a truly collaborative piece of drama. All three have worked previously on projects in separate roles but this is the first time they have all performed together under their new name Big Nonsense.

Big Nonsense would like to thank everyone at ScenePool, the Creative Producers Collective, Camden People’s Theatre and all those generous people who allowed us to rummage through their bins.
