The Show –
Every Brilliant Thing is a critically acclaimed, contemporary one-person play that explores themes of mental health, hope, and human connection. Blending scripted storytelling with moments of improvisation and direct audience interaction, the piece follows an individual who, from childhood into adulthood, constructs a lifelong list of “brilliant things” in an effort to support a parent struggling with depression.
Balancing humour with emotional depth, the play invites the audience to share in a journey that is both intimate and uplifting. The role is flexible and may be performed by an actor of any gender, with elements of the script adaptable to suit the performer’s age and lived experience. The production requires warmth, sincerity, and the ability to engage openly with an audience in a shared storytelling space.
