SEE DAVID KELLY AT HIS MOST PERSONABLE & SPONTANEOUS
LAST WEEK
At the top of the play, David Kelly's character is seven years old and his mom is in the hospital after a bout with depression. To cheer her up, he begins a list of every brilliant thing worth living for: Ice cream. Kung Fu movies. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. And on and on. He leaves the list on his mom's pillow. He knows she has read it, because she's corrected his spelling. The list then takes on a life of its own in funny and heartwarming ways. Directed by Caroline Shaffer.
Every Brilliant Thing explores the lengths to which we go for those we love. It demands we pay attention — to ourselves, to the person in the next seat, across the aisle and beyond, and to what brings us joy. At its core, this play is about human connection.
