A hilarious, heart-wrenching, and heart-warming play about the efforts of a young boy to will his mother to live by creating a list of all the best things in the world; everything worth living for. As both he and the list grow, he comes to recognize the deep significance it's had on his own actions and how it helped shape his life. Charming and delightful, EVERY BRILLIANT THING is a transcendent and tender coming-of-age journey that reminds us to pay attention to life's smallest joys--and to each other.
