Youre six years old. Mums in hospital. Dad says shes 'done something stupid. She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything thats brilliant about the world. Everything thats worth living for. 1. Ice Cream. 2. Kung Fu Movies. 3. Burning Things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me You leave it on her pillow. You know shes read it because shes corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. A new play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.

I saw this play in 2019 and was blown away by the audience interaction and the blend of comedy and drama. I loved being able to read the stage directions and examples of what the original actor did. During this strange quarantine it was good to read a collection of random beautiful things. I‘ll revisit this one again. #readathon
