buckets

buckets
From the logical case for kissing immediately, to the crisis of filling a free afternoon,buckets is a warm, wise and witty take on a universal dilemma - how do you deal with the fact that time always runs out? An interwoven web of stories, characters and moments - moments seized, moments wasted, moments you can never forget and moments you wish you could - buckets is a unique and entertaining new play about bucket lists, life planning and the disappointing fact that you're not going to live forever. Oh, and there's singing too.
