by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe // ages 15 and up

What makes life worth living? Lots of things, lots of little things. Let's get started. A list of nice things, it can't be that difficult, can it? 1. ice cream, 2. water fights, 3. being allowed to stay up later than usual and watch TV, 4. the color yellow. The list started when my mother was depressed. I'll finish it today. Because for all the good things the list brought me, my mother never read it.

Duncan Macmillan has written a hilarious solo play about the beauty of life, the reality of which includes the depression of the mother for whom the list is compiled. And then you remember how beautiful it is, life!
