Description: After a mother's suicide attempt, her child begins a list of everything wonderful in the world. A poignant, funny, and life-affirming solo play about finding joy in the face of despair.
Review Quotes: "Every Brilliant Thing finds a perfect balance between conveying the struggles of life, and celebrating all that is sweet in it." - The Independent
"What Macmillan offers, with great sensitivity behind the abundant laughs, is a child's fierce, flawed attempt to make sense of adult unhappiness and a meditation on the shadow that a loved one's depression casts over the lives of a family." - Evening Standard (London)
"Every Brilliant Thing is sad, but it is also gloriously funny and exceptionally warm. It's a show that spells out a little of what depression can do to people, but it also highlights the irrepressible resilience of the human spirit." - Time Out London
