		Comedy - 3m, 1w - single set
		synopsis	Born into a gilded world of opulence and breeding, the Collyer Brothers have it all. What they don't realize is that their coddled world of privilege has left them completely unable to cope with the realities of the Twentieth Century. With great humor, insight and pathos, Stuff charts the comically twisted decline of New York's most notorious hermits, from the height of their fortune in 1929 to their garbage laden deaths two decades later. With only each other to consol, support, love and loath, the Brothers Collyer shut themselves away from the disappointments of the ever changing world outside, only to find their greatest horrors lie within the walls of their own home.
