Every Brilliant Thing

One-man show by Duncan Macmillan and Johnny Donahue  performed by Mark Lloyd.

You’re six 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 that’s worth living for.

1. Ice Cream

2. Kung Fu Movies

3. Burning Things

4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose

5. Construction cranes

6. Me

You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own.

A new play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.

‘Filled to the brim with joy… beautiful, heart wrenching and very funny’ Time Out London

“One of the funniest plays you will see about depression.” The Guardian.
