Every Brilliant Thing<br />
You’re seven years old. Mom’s in the<br />
hospital. Dad says she’s “done something<br />
stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy.<br />
So you start to make a list of everything<br />
that’s brilliant about the world.<br />
Everything worth living for: 1. Ice cream.<br />
2. Kung Fu movies. 3. Staying up past<br />
your bedtime and being allowed to watch<br />
TV. 4. The color yellow. You leave it on<br />
her pillow. You know she read it because<br />
she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list<br />
will take on a life of its own. This funny<br />
and moving play is a tribute to resilience<br />
and hope as it enlists you, the audience, to<br />
tell this heartfelt story.<br />
