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.
