Every Brilliant Thing

Recommended Age Guide 14+ | Content includes: audience interaction, references to suicide, depression, mental health issues and death.

Following a totally sold-out run at the Fringe, the smash-hit show by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe comes to the Tron.

You’re seven years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’. She finds it hard to be happy.

So you make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for.

Ice cream.
Water fights.
Staying up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV.
The colour yellow.
Rollercoasters.
People falling over.

A play about depression and the lengths we go to for those we love.

‘Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe’s mega Fringe hit is back, even more extraordinary, shattering and beautiful than before.’ ★★★★★ The Times
