The List

She keeps a tight list and doesn’t let anything go unchecked, except for one important misplaced item: a favour to her neighbour. With this broken promise, a series of events unfolds that lead to her friend’s death. Was the death preventable had the task been completed? A Governor General’s Literary Award–winning play, The List is the riveting story of a woman haunted by internal regret when she fails to critically prioritize her world.

Reviews

“Shelley Tepperman’s English translation of The List (La Liste) is exceptional. If there was anything lost in translation it was undetectable in this compelling reading of a script that is structured like poetry yet realized with complete and heartbreaking humanity.”
