Every Brilliant Thing

Join us at the Gothenburg English Studio Theatre for a touching and humorous rendition of the acclaimed play Every Brilliant Thing, penned by Duncan Macmillan and featuring Jonny Donahoe. Award-winning actor Gary Whitaker brings this life-affirming story to the stage, directed by Kristina Brändén Whitaker.

This heartfelt performance explores the intricacies of depression and the lengths we'll go to for our loved ones. It begins with a seven-year-old boy whose mother is struggling, prompting him to create a list of everything wonderful in the world:

1. Ice cream 🍦
2. Water fights 💦
3. People falling over 🤭
4. Rollercoasters 🎢
5. Laughing so hard you shoot milk through your nose 🥛😂

As the boy matures, this evolving list serves not just to cherish life's little pleasures but may ultimately help him find his way back to joy.

To commemorate GEST's 20-year anniversary, we're reviving this beloved production by popular demand. With only 11 performances available, be sure to secure your spot!

Critics have described the show as:
"...a feelgood play about depression, crafted with sensitivity." - Göteborgs-Posten
"...emotionally resonates, shifting you between hope, despair, laughter, and tears." - Scenkonstguiden
