Every Brilliant Thing
Past Show
25 Aug - 18 Sep
Studio Underground
One of the most uplifting plays about everything worth living for.
Every Brilliant Thing
Performed in-the-round, by the incredible Luke Hewitt, Every Brilliant Thing is an hour of life affirming humour. This multiple award-winning international sensation throws audience members into the story as fathers, lovers, friends and allies following one person’s life in the shadow of mental illness. From the broad #4 ‘The Colour Yellow’ to the detailed #9998 ‘Watching someone watch your favourite film’, this joyous and intimate work shows us the miracles in life’s minutiae.
Hey,
Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’. So I’m working on a list.
#1. Ice cream
#2. Water fights
Everything that’s brilliant about the world
#5. Things with stripes
#25. Wearing a cape
Everything that’s worth living for.
#314 The Way Ray Charles sings the word ‘You’
#319. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out of your nose
#823. Skinny Dipping
I’m going to try to get to one million
With Love
If you find yourself at lost end after the show, or notice you are still chewing over the tricky moments even in a week or two later, there are a number of organisations here to help. Connection and Wellbeing Australia (CAWA) have listed them here and there will be information in the foyer after the show.
