Press

“Down the elevator, all 12 of us go…The downstairs hallway is narrow and draped with huge paper lists: butter, milk, cheese, diapers, etcetera. The actors kitchen is small, claustrophobic and the perfect setting…This is a mesmerizing performance…Director Paterson is exploring smaller and smaller spacesand for The List that tightly focused space really works.”
Jo Ledingham, The Courier

About

A woman invites us into her life of meticulous order. While she was consumed with childraising and housekeeping, her neighbour, a mother of five, lost her life. What neglected task on her never-ending to do lists could have prevented the tragedy? A riveting contemporary tale in which the crucial and the ordinary are inextricably entwined.

This production was created as a found space installation for an audience of 12. The BoucheWHACKED! team behind this instillation were commissioned by Ruby Slippers Theatre to bring the production to the main stage for a 2015 run & 2016 remount.
