Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan at BNH Stage

You’re seven years old and your mom’s in the hospital because, as your dad says, she “finds it hard to be happy”.  So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for.  1. Ice cream  2. Water fights   3. Staying up past your bedtime and being able to watch TV.  4. The color yellow  5. Things with stripes.

This surprising and immersive theatrical experience speaks openly about depression, mental illness and suicide. With poignant humor and joy, Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan takes us on a journey through grief, healing, falling in love, and rediscovering all that life has to give.

“[A] heart-wrenching, hilarious play…One of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, full stop…" —The Guardian (UK)
