NAMI Berkshire County, in partnership with the Berkshire Coalition for Suicide Prevention is sponsoring a performance of the funny, moving play – “Every Brilliant Thing” by Duncan MacMillan with Jonny Donahoe – a powerful piece of theatre about Depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.
After being told that her Mum can’t think of anything worth living for, a little girl begins a list of everything brilliant about the world; everything worth living for. At seven years old, her list includes ice cream, being allowed to stay up past your bed time and things with stripes. As the little girl grows up, the entries mature along with her and as the list grows, she learns the deep significance it has on her own life. “Every Brilliant Thing” has been performed around the world and this local production is being done as a fundraiser/awareness event for NAMI Berkshire County – the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness and the Berkshire Coalition for Suicide Prevention (BCSP).
