BIG fat BRIBE Here at List Towers we’re not above a wee bribe to make us sit up and take notice of a show – so come on, what are you waiting for?
One (slightly crushed) cake and a rhyming poem from Alexandra and Kate Donnachie of 3 YEARS, 1 WEEK AND A LEMON DRIZZLE, who’re at Underbelly until 27 Aug (not 13). A beautiful, glittery butterfl y encased in a wooden cage, along with a hand-written plea for freedom from DON QUIXOTE himself, who’ll be at Assembly until 26 Aug (not 15, 22).
Master hypnotist AARON CALVERT popped by The List offi ce to take us through a mindfulness exercise to help us stay sane ahead of the festival madness. He also made our colleague Maria’s foot stick to the fl oor and literally read our freakin’ minds. Check out DECLASSIFIED at Gilded Balloon until 26 Aug.
