I keep a tight list. Very detailed. I stick to it. Even more so since she died. But I’m having trouble.
“Maureen Beattie [gives a] mesmerising and thrillingly unforgiving performance as a woman who cannot forgive herself.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
Stellar Quines’ production of The List won a Fringe First and Herald Angel at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2012. The List will be restaged for the Fringe for 2013 and then undertake a short tour to theatre venues around Scotland.
Set in Québec, The List is an award winning story of a woman struggling to adjust to rural life. Increasingly isolated, she keeps life in order through obsessive list making. As her marriage struggles she befriends Caroline. When Caroline requests a favour she adds it to her list. The difference between remembering to do it, and neglecting to take it seriously, becomes the difference between life and death.
