Every Brilliant Thing
by Duncan MacMillan
Lime Kiln Theater – Saturday, June 29th, 7:00 pm
You’re six years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” 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. Kung Fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. Every Brilliant Thing is about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love. This play has become a popular staple in the regional theater circuit.
This play contains audience interaction, as well as some mature themes such as suicide.
