EVERY BRILLIANT THING Story :

The play tells a remarkably uplifting story about a young boy's attempt to combat his mother's depression with a list of all the wonderful things in the world worth living for.

More and more we are coming into contact with people who are struggling to adjust to life, deal with life, talk about their daily challenges. For the longest time, addressing mental health issues has been done in hushed tones, if at all. Seeking professional help has been associated with a degree of inferiority and shame.

Macmillan has described his reasons for writing the play as to communicate to people 'You're not alone, you're not weird, you will get through it, and you've just got to hold on. That's a very uncool, unfashionable thing for someone to say, but I really mean it. I didn't see anyone discussing suicidal depression in a useful or interesting or accurate way.'

EVERY BRILLIANT THING is a delicate exploration of relationships, very tender relationships, made all the more complex by the issues at hand.

Suitable for ages 14+
