Every Brilliant Thing
New England Premiere
Written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe

August 2 – August 13
When a boy’s mother attempts suicide, he starts a list of everything that’s brilliant in the world to convince her to stay: things with stripes, ice cream, Christopher Walken’s hair. CTC favorite Joel Ripka leads the audience on an engaging journey of a son’s gift to his mother, to himself, and to the audience. A theatre experience—a life experience—to never forget. The Guardian calls it “Heart-wrenching, hilarious...possibly one of the funniest plays you'll ever see.”
