Every Brilliant Thing

Every Brilliant Thing, by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, opens at Keswick’s Theatre By The Lake September 8–23.

The play is about mental health, resilience and the lengths we’ll go to for those we love. A life-affirming one-performer show told with some help from the audience.

You’re seven 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 worth living for.

Running time about one hour, post-show event approx 30–45 minutes. Suitable age 14+.
