“You’re seven years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’. She finds it hard to be happy. You start a list of everything brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for... You leave it on her pillow. You know she's read it because she's corrected your spelling.”
Twenty years and thousands of things later, the list takes on a life of its own. Be drawn in to this astonishingly funny comedy about depression, gratitude, and the lengths we go to for those we love. Based on true and untrue stories.
Audiences are captivated by this exhilarating solo performance that’s like-no-other, a deep dive into emotional well-being through wit, wisdom and improv hilarity. Theatre’s power to bring people together in loving respect is vividly alive in this play, undoing stigma around mental illness. A talk-back with the artists follows every show.
