Tickets are on sale for Duncan Macmillan's award-winning 1-woman show, Every Brilliant Thing, starring Claire Houghton Renoe. The show runs for 3 performances only, October 3-5, at the intimate Live Oak Theater in Berkeley.
After a sold-out limited run this summer, Claire Houghton Renoe returns to Live Oak with her tour-de-force performance of Every Brilliant Thing, a funny and poignant theatre piece about the lengths we will go to for those we love. A child writes a list of everything brilliant about the world for her mother, who struggles with depression, as reasons to continue living. The story chronicles her creation of the list, the forgetting and rediscovery of it as she grows into adulthood, and the difficult but worthy task of hope. Every Brilliant Thing is "gloriously funny and exceptionally warm" (Time Out London), and "one of the funniest plays you'll ever see about depression—and one of the funniest plays you'll ever see, full stop" (The Guardian UK).
