You\u2019re six years old. Mum\u2019s in hospital. Dad says she\u2019s \u2018done something stupid\u2019. She finds it hard to be happy.<\/p>\n

You start to make a list of everything that\u2019s brilliant about the world.<\/p>\n

Everything that\u2019s worth living for.<\/p>\n

1. Ice Cream<\/p>\n

2. Kung Fu Movies<\/p>\n

3. Burning Things<\/p>\n

4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose<\/p>\n

5. Construction cranes<\/p>\n

6. Me<\/p>\n

You leave it on her pillow. You know she\u2019s read it because she\u2019s corrected your spelling.<\/p>\n

Soon, the list will take on a life of its own.<\/p>\n

A new play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.<\/p>\n

Each performance of Every Brilliant Thing involves members of the audience, making every night unique.<\/p>\n
