Director Scott Ecker and Artistic Director Jon Micheels Leiseth join It Takes Two with Amy & JJ to discuss their latest production of "Every Brilliant Thing" by Duncan MacMillan with Jonny Donahoe. "Every Brilliant Thing is a powerful, heartwarming, and surprisingly funny play about the lengths we go to for those we love—and the small, beautiful moments that make life worth living. The story begins when a 7-year-old’s mother attempts suicide, prompting the child to start a list of everything brilliant in the world. As the years unfold—through adolescence, love, loss, marriage, and grief—the list grows, abandoned and revived, eventually reaching one million entries. Blending comedy, improvisation, and intimate audience interaction, this immersive experience invites us to walk alongside one individual navigating the shadow of a parent’s mental illness while learning to face their own. Moving and life-affirming, Every Brilliant Thing reminds us that even in our darkest moments, hope can be found in life’s smallest miracles." Running May 1st - May 17th.

With war, political wrangling and price hikes jockeying for headlines, it's a rare thing to sit for an hour with a large group of strangers and focus on the small pleasures in life. But that's what the show “Every Brilliant Thing” is all about. Since 2013, Duncan Macmillan's audience-participation-heavy play has been performed in dozens of languages in hundreds of locations across the globe. It revolves around a central character who writes a list of all the good things in life for a depressed parent. And while it tackles dark subject matter — including frequent mentions of a loved one's suicide — it may be one of the funniest shows about depression, ever. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Michael Barbaro talks with Daniel Radcliffe, who currently stars in a Broadway production of the show, and Mariska Hargitay, who will step into the role in a few weeks. We'll also hear from the playwright and several other actors who have performed the play on stages, in living rooms, on basketball courts and aircraft carriers all over the world.

In this exciting new episode, LZ reunites with Daniel Radcliffe for a playful, fast-paced interview about beauty, identity, and career. Radcliffe shares that he often starts press days feeling camera-unready until hair, makeup, and styling help; he chooses flying or an invisibility cloak as a preferred Harry Potter power and says he'd show his son the first Potter film so his son is least likely to recognize him, noting his current anonymity as “just dad.” Asked about a desert-island companion among past co-stars, he picks Emma Watson. He discusses his series “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” explaining Arthur Tobin's need for Reggie due to Arthur's own scandal and reflecting on forgiveness, growth, and changing gambling culture. Radcliffe recalls “Equus,” “How to Succeed,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” praises Jonathan Groff, and previews his one-man show “Every Brilliant Thing,” emphasizing live audience connection. He says he feels “beautiful” because he likes people and tries to ensure no one leaves a set feeling worse than when they arrived.Timestamp Menu:00:53 Meet Daniel Radcliffe01:44 Speed Date Setup02:40 Mirror Morning Check03:27 Pick a Magic Power04:25 One Potter for His Son05:23 Desert Island Co Star06:16 Fallen Rise of Dinkins07:14 Mistakes Forgiveness Growth08:42 Documentary and Autobiography09:18 Broadway Naked Stories10:20 Merrily and Broadway Love11:46 Every Brilliant Thing Preview13:19 I Am Beautiful Because14:26 Thanks and Farewell

Episode 102: Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe Host: Douglas Schatz Guests: Duncan Macmillan Jonny Donahoe Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Every Brilliant ThingWhen their mother attempts to take her own life, a seven-year old child decides to start a list; a list of “everything brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for.” A list for mum. This is the premise for Every Brilliant Thing, the hit one-person play created by playwright Duncan Macmillan and performer Jonny Donahoe. The play started life at Ludlow Fringe Festival in 2013, and in the decade or so since, it has been seen in over 70 countries around the world. As we record this episode Every Brilliant Thing has reached London's West End, with a rotating cast of five different performers appearing over its three-month run at the Soho Place theatre. The critic, Lyn Gardner, described Every Brilliant Thing as “one of the funniest plays you'll ever see about depression.” She is spot on – it is funny and poignant and finally life affirming. I am very privileged to be joined in this episode by the show's two creators, Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe.

Their first performance "Every Brilliant Thing" runs February 27 - March 15 at the Hamilton Studio in Spokane. This one man show, starring Doug Dawson, is heart-wrenching, hilarious…one of the funniest plays you'll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you'll ever see, full stop. For information about show times and to purchase tickets, visit theaterontheverge.com. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or know of someone who is, call 988 to get the help and support you need. It's free. It's confidential. And connects you with a trained crisis counselor.

Slán Irish Voice Two weeks ago Niall O'Dowd, founder of the Irish American newspaper The Irish Voice announced that it was to close after 36 years. The New York based Irish Voice and the Irish Echo were the principle sources of news for decades of Irish Americans and new Irish immigrants moving to the USA. Now the Irish Voice is gone. But a far sighted Niall O'Dowd realised some years ago the direction of travel for newspapers competing against the huge growth in online media services and founded the online Irish Central. Today IrishCentral.com gets over two million visitors monthly.Every Brilliant ThingListening, as I usually do on Sunday mornings, to Sunday with Miriam on RTE Radio after Sunday Miscellany I really enjoyed Altan's tunes and Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh's craic. I was also very taken by the preview of Every Brilliant Thing which is being staged at The Galway Arts Festival.Theatre Director Andrew Flynn gave us an insight into this play by Duncan Macmillan. Essentially this is about a young man who starts, at the age of seven, to compile a list of those things which make his life worth living. This is while he is battling with the challenges of the different stages of his life, including his mother's attempt at suicide. War Crimes in JeninThe Israeli Government's assault on Jenin, the Palestinian refugee camp, in the occupied west Bank left 12 people dead and scores more injured. Using bombs, Apache helicopters, drones, bulldozers and hundreds of troops Israel's apartheid regime imposed a reign of terror on the 14,000 people who live in Jenin. More than 3,000 civilians were displaced from their homes.
Ahead of the staging of Every Brilliant Thing at the Galway Arts Festival, we hear from theatre director Andrew Flynn on why he wants us all to compile a list of Every Brilliant Thing in our lives If you want to get involved and submit all the brilliant things in your life, email everybrilliantthinggalway@gmail.com

This 13th episode of Biographical Bytes from Bala is for mid-October 2022 - and a little early on purpose. Who doesn't love ice cream? Philadelphia has made huge contributions to the history of this delectable warm weather treat. If you're from the area, you grew up with Bassetts and Breyers; maybe you got some nonpareils or sprinkles on your soft serve; or you looked forward to going into a center city drug store so you could sit at the counter and have an ice cream float. All of these have a Quaker City connection – I will talk about them and more today on Biographical Bytes from Bala: Laurel Hill West Stories – Every Brilliant Thing: Ice Cream and Laurel Hill
