Experience the brilliance of "Every Brilliant Thing" at The Drama Factory this March. Presented by Jeff Brooker Productions, this celebrated play by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe is a must-see theatre production.
It will be staged in March and is set to provide an unforgettable theatrical experience.
Starring the talented Henu Baden and directed by Jeff Brooker himself, it revolves around a young boy who creates a list of everything wonderful in the world to help his mother cope with depression and thoughts of suicide.
As the boy grows, so does the list, which evolves from simple pleasures to quirky moments and becomes a testament to the power of positivity in the face of adversity.
The play explores themes of mental health, resilience and the beauty found in life's small joys.
Through a combination of humour and heartache, "Every Brilliant Thing" offers a moving and ultimately uplifting exploration of human connection and the importance of finding light in the darkest of times.
This one-man show unfolds in an intimate "in-the-round" setting, inviting audience members to participate in reciting items from the list, creating a shared and deeply emotional experience.
Prepare to laugh and cry until you realize that a smile should be your response to life's challenges.
