A writer wants to write a play. But what is the point? It will never be Shakespeare. Fabulous Nothing is a ridiculous bittersweet romp through the vast empty brain of a writer struggling to write, as she grapples with the fickle thoughts inside her own head.

Help to get this fabulous new script to the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown! Fabulous Nothing is one of three shows that Hungry Minds Productions is taking up to the NAF this year and they need funding to get there! Join Hungry Minds at Alexander Bar and Theatre for an exclusive reading of Callum Tilbury' delicious script, meet the young team and get them to Grahamstown! Supporting the arts has never been so much fun!
From the creative team that brought a new tale on Athol Fugard's 'People are Living There' and starring Kiroshan Naidoo, nominated by Fleur du cap for most promising student 2015.

Audience Responses

I thought the main actress was excellent and the dialogue per se good, but the play lacked the necessary drama. Too many 'thoughts' for a start - two opposing ones fighting for the upper hand in her mind would have been better. I liked the basic idea but perhaps it needed some external stimuli in the form of current events or personal crises to bring some life and interest into the debate in her mind.

Everyone who has ever written for theatre has written this play at some time and in some form (mine was in my second year of university, a duologue between two sub-Beckettian characters called Nibor and Nalam). I'm surprised that Callum has waited this long to write his. Great cast, every one of them. I love Callum and the last thing I would want to do is discourage him from writing. I'm glad he's got this one out of his system, but I don't think it belongs in a national festival. A student festival, okay; but it's too late for that now.
