“Every Brilliant Thing” by Duncan Macmillan is a heartwarming and poignant one-person play that explores themes of mental health, depression, and the power of human connection. The story follows a narrator who, as a young child, begins compiling a list of everything worth living for to cheer up their mother who is battling depression. The list includes simple joys like “ice cream” and “staying up past your bedtime.” As the narrator grows up, the list evolves and becomes a tool for coping with life’s challenges. Through a blend of humour and profound insight, the play invites the audience to reflect on the small pleasures that make life beautiful and the importance of hope and resilience.
