Every Brilliant Thing at Durham County Library By PlayMakers Repertory Company

About the event

In this solo performance, a person reflects on their life and the hope that sustained them. By Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe.

Stay following the performance for a special second act of community discussion facilitated by artists and mental health clinicians.

This immersive experience blends comedy, improv, and audience interaction to tell one individual’s story of growing up in the shadow of their mother’s struggle with suicidal depression while learning to grapple with their own journey and life experiences. Surprisingly charming and delightful, “Every Brilliant Thing” provides a life-affirming jolt of humanism, reminding us that hope comes from life's smallest miracles.
