Duncan MacMillon’s critically acclaimed play Every Brilliant Thing is a life-affirming story about the strength inside all of us and how to delight in the everyday. This heart-warming, one-person show tells the story of a woman who started a list of “brilliant things about the world” as a little girl to ease her mother’s depression. She continues the list as an adult, and discovers it has a great impact on her life.
“Every Brilliant Thing stars Mary Beth Murphy and is much more than a play according to director David Costa. “It’s an interactive, theatrical experience that shines a light on one of the most powerful things we can do-focus on all the positive things in our lives, rather than the negative.” “This show is a must-see,” Costa continued. “After two years of a pandemic, Every Brilliant Thing is exactly what we all need right now.”
Written by Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe
*Nominated for Drama Desk Award, Outstanding Solo Performance and Lucille Lortel Award, Outstanding Solo Show
