Barter Theatre: Every Brilliant Thing
May 20, 2022 - August 20, 2022
Every Brilliant Thing
May 20th – August 20th
by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe
Could you name a hundred things that make life wonderful? A thousand? How about a million? When he was 7, a boy started a list of things to live for in an attempt to save his mother. As he grows up, the list takes on a life of its own. From “Ice Cream” (#1 on the list) to “Staying up all night talking” (#9,999), Every Brilliant Thing shines a hilarious and compassionate light on dark corners of the human condition. A play about the lengths we will go to for those we love—told in collaboration with the audience.
EVERY BRILLIANT THING is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
