Every Brilliant Thing is an exhilarating and heartwarming play, in which a man looks back at his life and the glimmers of hope that carried him through. All told through a list of every wonderful, beautiful, and delightful thing—big, small, and everything in between—that makes life worth living. First presented by Paines Plough at Roundabout at Somerhall in 2014, this one-of-a-kind solo show has been performed across the globe in over 80 countries on stages of all sizes and adapted into an HBO Special starring co-creator Jonny Donahoe. The play will make its long-awaited Broadway premiere following a 14-week season @sohoplace in London’s West End, where the hit play is currently running with Minnie Driver until 8 November. Previous performers in the season include Lenny Henry, Jonny Donahoe, Ambika Mod and Sue Perkins.
“Every Brilliant Thing tackles some serious subject matter, but the overall experience is one of joy and celebration,” said Duncan Macmillan. “Every performance is unique and unpredictable and it requires virtuosic skill from its central performer. When Daniel told us how much he loved the play, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. He has the intelligence, quick-wit and charm to roll with the spontaneous moments that the show invites – he can be a clown one moment, then grab you by the heartstrings the next. He has huge depth and humanity. I can’t wait to get started.”
Every Brilliant Thing is designed by Olivier Award winner Vicki Mortimer (Follies, Closer), with Lighting Design by Tony Award winner Jack Knowles (Sunset Boulevard) and Sound Design by Tony Award nominee Tom Gibbons (1984, Grey House). Casting for the Broadway run is by Jessica Ronane CDG, General Management is by TT Partners, and the Production Stage Manager is Jhanaë K-C Bonnick.
Every Brilliant Thing is produced on Broadway by Second Half Productions, Seaview and Gavin Kalin Productions. This marks the first Broadway transfer for Second Half Productions, the entertainment company founded by Jeremy Herrin, Alan Stacey and Rob O’Rahilly in 2021. The production is presented in association with Paines Plough
