A Sudden, Disturbing To Do List is a devised, disabled-led theatre piece by Eleanor May Blackburn, performed at Mint Studio during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show follows Phoebe, queen of lists, whose compulsive listing tips into something darker when a pink fluffy monster appears and she starts cataloguing the ways she might die. Eleanor worked with an access consultant, and the show includes an audio description introduction and strong narrative storytelling suited to visually impaired audiences. Runs 50 minutes; recommended for ages 14 and over. Contains distressing themes and strong language.
Why see this show?
A playful premise that gradually reveals genuine weight — lists as coping mechanism, comfort and anxiety in one. Thoughtfully made with access baked in from the start, not added as an afterthought.
