SYNOPSIS
Every Brilliant Thing tells the story of a young child confronted with their mother’s depression. Their instinct is to try and cure their mother. With this in mind, they start curating a list of all the amazing things that the universe has to offer. They start with simple things (ice-cream, kung-fu films) but as it grows the list encompasses more personal pleasures, including the family’s shared love of music. While their mother seems immune to her child’s interventions, the child themselves is transformed: the list changes how they see the world, providing them with an emotional literacy and resilience that will eventually save them from their mother’s fate. The Narrator takes the audience through their life story, using them as characters along the way. This is a solo show with lots of audience interaction.
