Thank you to everyone who attended this amazing production!

Originally broadcast as a television play in 1954, and written again in 1957 as a feature film, 12 Angry Jurors is an American courtroom drama about the deliberations of a jury at a homicide trial. A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case — until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become angry. The jurors’ final verdict and how they reach it will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

Every Brilliant Thing

by Duncan MacMillan

with Jonny Donahoe

When Mum’s in the hospital and Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’, there’s not much a seven year old can do.
1. Ice cream
2. Water fights
3. Staying up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV.

These are the first three items on a list of every brilliant thing in the world worth living for. Duncan MacMillan’s play Every Brilliant Thing pulls back the curtain on what it’s like to be a child of a suicidal mother and the lengths we go for those we love. Based on true (and untrue) stories, Every Brilliant Thing is a life-affirming story of how to achieve hope through focusing on the smallest miracles of life.
