Every Brilliant Thing

About this event

7.30pm “the most brilliant thing about life is that it is a shared experience” Clare Brennan, The Guardian You’re seven years old. Mum’s in hospital. 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. - Ice cream - Water fights - Staying up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV And as you grow, so does the list… Every Brilliant Thing is an honest, uplifting and very funny play about mental health, resilience and the lengths we’ll go to for those we love. Told by a single performer with help from the audience, it creates a unique, shared theatrical experience. Following a successful run and tour in 2023, Every Brilliant Thing returns to our studio before visiting community spaces across Cumbria. ______________________________________________ Looking for more live theatre in Keswick?
