Every Brilliant Thing

By Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe
On stage 01.16–02.10.19

"You're six years old. Your mom's in the hospital. So you start to make a list of everything that's brilliant about the world. Everything that's worth living for: 1. Ice cream. 2. Kung fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out of your nose. 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me."

A moving, insightful and hilarious new one-person play – starring Tony nominee and Emmy Award-winning actor Liz Callaway – that is unlike any other. T2’s space will be reconfigured for the first time in eight years to create a profoundly intimate, immersive, life-affirming theatre experience.

“Unflinching, life-affirming — and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, full stop.”

— The Guardian
