Lists for the end of the world
Things I pretend to be interested in
Times my 8 year old self would be proud of me
Places I would hide a body

“As a piece of theatre Lists is beautifully crafted, eloquent, thought-provoking, moving, and very funny. When the work in progress was presented at Live Theatre the audience were held in rapt attention, thoroughly delighted by the juxtaposition of an innovative form and content that spoke succinctly to the reality of their own lives. ”
