In support of St. Margaret’s Mental Health Awareness group join us for a special performance of the acclaimed one-person play, Every Brilliant Thing. This deeply moving and unexpectedly funny show explores the topic of mental health through the eyes of someone who begins compiling a list of everything brilliant in life to help a loved one struggling with depression. Performed with heart, humor, and audience interaction, Every Brilliant Thing invites us to find hope, connection, and meaning in the small joys of everyday life.

“[A] heart-wrenching, hilarious play…One of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see…There is something tough being confronted here—the guilt of not being able to make those we love happy—and it is explored with unflinching honesty.” —The Guardian (UK).
“EVERY BRILLIANT THING finds a perfect balance between conveying the struggles of life, and celebrating all that is sweet in it.” —The Independent (UK).
“…very charming…offers sentimentality without shame…guaranteed to keep your eyes brimming…[The script] balance[s] acuity and affability…with unobtrusive artistry…captivating…” —The New York Times.
“[EVERY BRILLIANT THING] is sad, but it is also gloriously funny and exceptionally warm. It’s a show that spells out a little of what depression can do to people, but it also highlights the irrepressible resilience of the human spirit and the capacity to find delight in the everyday.” —Time Out London.
