Following the conclusion of its off-Broadway run at the Barrow Street Theatre, Duncan Macmillan’s Every Brilliant Thing will embark on its second tour of the United Kingdom. The tour will begin May 2 at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival in Wales before heading to Liverpool, Oxford, and Canterbury, among other cities. The New York run concludes March 29.

Featuring Jonny Donahoe, the solo show is directed by George Perrin. Every Brilliant Thing follows a young boy who attempts to ease his mother's depression by creating a list of all the best things in the world. Through adulthood, as the list grows, he learns the deep significance it has on his own life.

A production of the U.K.-based Paines Plough and Pentabus Theatre Company, the production came to New York following engagements in London and Edinburgh, as well as a U.K. tour. The production is presented by Scott Morfee, Jean Doumanian, Tom Wirtshafter, and Patrick Daly.
