Review: EVERY BRILLIANT THING, starring Minnie Driver, @sohoplace
by Franco Milazzo - Oct 22, 2025

If you’re anything like me — a man of taste, decency, and a healthy suspicion of anything that smells of group therapy — you approach a one-person play about depression with the same enthusiasm you’d reserve for an unexpected colonoscopy. The title, Every Brilliant Thing, only amplified my well-fed scepticism. It sounds like it should be a self-congratulatory bumper sticker on an electric vehicle or the name of a hastily manufactured boy band.

Review: EVERY BRILLIANT THING, Starring Sue Perkins, @sohoplace
by Louise Penn - Sep 15, 2025

Review: EVERY BRILLIANT THING, Starring Ambika Mod, @sohoplace
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Sep 12, 2025

Ambika Mod, of This Is Going to Hurt and One Day fame, is pretty perfect casting for the part. Exuding warmth and approachability, she handles the play’s demands with the ideal balance of humanity and confidence, putting audiences immediately at ease. She never feels like she’s fully playing a role, but rather telling a story.
