Every Brilliant Thing

Ostensibly “Every Brilliant Thing” takes us on a journey of the narrator, here expertly played by the very talented Scott Barrow, from the age of 6 through adolescence to adulthood, as he deals with his mother’s depression and suicide attempts by making a list of brilliant, joyful things. This heart-wrenching, hilarious play examines what depression can do to people, while highlighting the irrepressible resilience of the human spirit and our ability to find joy in the everyday.
