Review (Creative Futures): The Bucket List

The Bucket List is a term coined by the writer of the excellent film about two terminally ill men who embark on a road trip. Although the phrase has only been in use for less than three decades, it is now widely used to refer to the bucket of tasks or dreams that many people wish to complete before they die; that is, before they ‘kick the bucket.’ Screech Arts’ writers Alex Buchanan and Niala Lewis, in collaboration with the full cast, have transformed the bucket list idea into a memorable show that shares the personal bucket list priorities of each of the members of the cast, and features… buckets.
