The Play That Inspired Me…

The play, “Every Brilliant Thing”, was written by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe. These two are absolutely BRILLIANT! To say I was inspired is a complete understatement.

The short of it, a young boy attempts to cure his mother’s depression by creating a list of the best things in the world. The list grows as he progresses from childhood (“Ice Cream”) and adolescence (“Star Trek”), to college (“Surprises”) and marriage (“Falling in Love”). But when life deals a bitter blow, the list proves to be helpful to the son in ways that it could never be for the mother.

You can buy the play on Amazon as well as rent/buy it on HBO.
