A very welcome return for this single-hander play that has already been a smash hit at the Junction four times in the last three years. It\u2019s not hard to see why: written by the English playwright\/director Duncan Macmillan with actor\/writer\/comedian Johnny Donahoe, it manages to be both intimate and interactive, a touching, funny, and uplifting play that chronicles life\u2019s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love.<\/p>\n
As his mother battles chronic depression, a child creates a list of every thing they can think of that makes life worth living. As the child grows, so does the list. Looking back on a life of ups and downs, the man takes the audience on an inspiring journey that celebrates finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us.<\/p>\n
The Guardian called the original Edinburgh Festival production \u201cone of the funniest plays you\u2019ll ever see about depression \u2013 and possibly one of the funniest plays you\u2019ll ever see, full stop\u201d. The Junction\u2019s main man Gautam Goenka directs and performs. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n
There are further performances on 13 and 14 September.<\/p>\n
