Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan MacMillan, with Jonny Donahoe
Performed by Jane Gaudet and Michael Oliphant.
Recommended for ages 14+
Creative team: Odile Nelson, director and co-producer Brian Fidler, co-producer and Guild artistic director Lea-Ann McNally, set and props designer Katherine Kellner, lighting designer Brandon Wicke, sound designer and technical director Audrey Sawyer, costume designer Andrea Bols, stage manager Ashlee Brewer, assistant stage manager Jane Robinson-Boivin, assistant stage manager Al Loewen, head carpenter
Every Brilliant Thing is a delightfully funny “interactive monologue” about depression. It’s also about love and the many amazing things that can, despite it all, make life worth living. Each night, the play’s narrator welcomes audience members to take an active role in the retelling of how they and their family struggled with their mother’s chronic depression. The results are always heartwarming, often hilarious. Every Brilliant Thing has enjoyed critical acclaim around the world and sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
In the Guild’s production, performers Janet Gaudet and Michael Oliphant will alternate performance evenings. Audience members who agree to participate will all do so from a safe distance of 2 metres and with single-use and/or disinfected props.
Every Brilliant Thing is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
