David Tushingham, who has tracked Stan's Cafe's work for years, travelled from Kent to see Of All The People In All The World premiere at Warwick Arts Centre. In turn he encouraged Peter Jakob Kelting to see the show in Birmingham, together they reported back to Marie Zimmerman, director of Theater Der Welt 2005 and persuaded her to bring the whole world version of the show to Stuttgart.

A little over two years after it's first staging Of All The People In All The World was presented in its dream setting, a vast post-industrial space in a major European theatre festival.

Lows came with the elements, the searing heat and high humidity that made working tough, the apocalyptic rain that caused guttering to fail and the venue to flood.

Highs came with the people and the place and the space and the wonder.
