EVERY BRILLIANT THING Will Launch Second U.K. Tour as Off-Broadway Run Wraps

By:

Producers Scott Morfee, Jean Doumanian, Tom Wirtshafter, and Patrick Daly have announced that the Paines Plough and Pentabus Theatre Company's production of Olivier Award nominee Duncan Macmillan's highly acclaimed new play, Every Brilliant Thing, will embark on its second U.K. tour following its critically acclaimed North American premiere at off-Broadway's Barrow Street Theatre (27 Barrow Street).

Written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, and direction by George Perrin, Every Brilliant Thing opened to rave reviews at the Barrow Street Theatre (27 Barrow Street) on Sunday, December 14th and is currently playing an extended engagement through March 29th, following a much-raved-over engagement in London and Edinburgh.


"We are thrilled for the continuing life of this heartfelt story, from audiences across the U.K. having the opportunity to see it again to future plans here in the U.S.," said producer Jean Doumanian.

Every Brilliant Thing will embark on its second U.K. tour with performances beginning at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival in Wales on May 2, 2015, and will play cities across the U.K. including Liverpool, Oxford, the Brighton Festival, and Canterbury, among other engagements.

1. Ice cream, 2. Water fights, 3. Things with stripes, 4. Christopher Walken's voice, 5. Rollercoasters. In 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. Everything worth living for. Through adulthood, as the list grows, he learns the deep significance it has on his own life. Every Brilliant Thing is a new play about depression and the lengths we will go for those we love.

Every Brilliant Thing plays the following performance schedule: Tuesday-Fridays at 7:30PM and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30PM & 7:30PM. Tickets for the production are now on sale via www.smarttix.com, on the phone at 212-868-4444, or in person at the Barrow Street Theatre box office, open at 1:00PM daily and are priced at $20 - $59.
