Description
Directed by Troy Nickerson and starring Doug Dawson, EVERY BRILLIANT THING is raw, funny, and heartbreakingly human. The play follows a young boy who creates a list of everyday things that bring him joy in a desperate attempt to lift the spirits of his depressed mother. Over the years, the list continues to grow as he confronts life on life’s terms—including death, disappointment, and falling in and out of love.
EVERY BRILLIANT THING is the first production from Theater on the Verge, a creative partnership between Troy Nickerson and Chris Jensen. Learn more at theaterontheverge.com.
“Heart-wrenching, hilarious…one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, full stop.”—Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
