1. Ice cream; 2. Kung fu movies; 3. Burning things; 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out of your nose; 5. Construction cranes. In Duncan MacMillan's Every Brilliant Thing, a young boy attempts to ease his mother's depression by creating a list of all the best things in the world. Through adulthood, as the list of things worth living for grows, he learns the deep significance it has on his own life. Co-written by and starring Jonny Donahoe, this heartwarming play made waves on HBO this past December. Now, it comes to The Edye at Santa Monica's Broad Stage to explore depression and the lengths we go to for those we love.
