★★★★  “the most brilliant thing about life is that it is a shared experience”  Clare Brennan, The Guardian 

Following its summer run at Theatre by the Lake (12 Aug–5 Sep), Every Brilliant Thing returns to the road, touring communities across Cumbria from 29 September to 4 October 2026.

Every Brilliant Thing is an honest, uplifting and very funny play about mental health, resilience and the lengths we’ll go to for those we love. This life-affirming one-performer show is charmingly told with some help from the audience for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.
