Award-nominated play back at Drama Factory

From the minds of Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahue, Jeff Brooker Productions presents Every Brilliant Thing, a captivating one-man show that explores the beauty and resilience of the human spirit.

The production, recently nominated for a prestigious Fleur du Cap Theatre Theatre Award in the Best New Director category, will be staged at The Drama Factory in Strand from tomorrow, Thursday March 7 to Saturday March 16.

The heartwarming coming-of-age story, a tragicomedy, celebrates the small but brilliant things that make life worth living for.

In Every Brilliant Thing, a young boy grapples with the emotional challenges of his mother's struggle with depression. To help her find hope, he begins compiling a list of everything brilliant in the world.

In this 2024 return season, actor Henu Baden brings the story to life as it unfolds in an immersive 'in-the-round' setting. Audience members are invited to participate by reciting the items on the boy's list, creating a shared and deeply wholesome experience.

Every Brilliant Thing has been staged globally to worldwide critical acclaim. Tickets are available through www.dramafactory.co.za
