Every Brilliant Thing
You’re seven years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’. She finds it hard to be happy. You start a list of everything brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for.
- Ice Cream. 2. Roller Coasters. 3. Peeing in the lake and nobody knows…
You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. 20 years & 1000s of things later, the list takes on a life of its own. Audiences across western Canada have been captivated by our rendition of this exhilarating solo performance that’s like no other – a deep dive into emotional well-being through wit, wisdom and hilarity. Theatre’s power to bring people together in loving respect is vividly alive in this play, undoing stigma around mental illness.
