ACT Theatre’s original production of the international sensation “Every Brilliant Thing” takes the stage this spring in the round of the Allen Theatre.
The play, written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, is a look at the lengths people go to for those they love and has been playing to acclaim across the world, including a recent HBO special.
Every Brilliant Thing stars local actor Ian Bell (with understudy Imogen Love) and runs March 17 to April 2, 2023. Tickets are available now at ACTtheatre.org or by calling the ACT Box Office at 206-292-7676.
The production is performed in the round, surrounded by the audience, creating an interactive theater experience for everyone in attendance. The production will be directed by ACT Theatre’s Artistic Director John Langs with stage design by Parmida Ziaei.
Every Brilliant Thing is a one-person show that tells the story of a young person’s journey to create a list of every brilliant thing in the world in the name of creating happiness. The play is an exploration of grief, depression, and the resilience of the human spirit, and the in-the-round setting will make the audience feel as though they are a part of the story themselves.
