Post Content: Originally performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, "Every Brilliant Thing" was such an enormous hit that it was invited for a four-month run in New York City before it was filmed for broadcast on HBO. Calgary audiences now have a chance to experience "Every Brilliant Thing" this spring, presented by Verb Theatre.
What do you do when you’re just seven years old and mum finds it hard to be happy? Start writing down for her every brilliant thing worth living for—ice cream, water fights, rollercoasters—and then never stop. #315 The smell of old books. #994 Hairdressers who listen to what you want. #2000 Coffee. #9996 Sex. As time passes and the list grows, what began as a naive attempt to deal with tragedy becomes an epic chronicle of life's small joys. This list takes on a life of its own in an unusually funny show about depression and love.
