Every Brilliant Thing - Schools Performance

By Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe

Studio Theatre

Faced with her mum’s depression a young girl compiles a list of every brilliant thing that makes life worth living.

Twenty years on, what started as a simple act of love to get mum through each day has transformed the way she sees the world. In what promises to be the most intimate theatrical experience of the year, Every Brilliant Thing takes us through the shadows of mental illness to find joy in the miracles of life’s minutiae.

Director        Chrissy Best 
With              Melissa King
