Following its humble beginnings at the Ludlow Fringe Festival in 2013, Every Brilliant Thing went on, in 2014, to complete a short UK tour and a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe. The show then transferred to Barrow Street Theatre in New York, finishing a 16 week run there at the end of March 2015. After a short break, Every Brilliant Thing came back for an extensive UK tour during 2015. 

Heading across the globe for an international tour, the show went to Australia for the Perth International Festival and then on to Melbourne followed by Wellington, New Zealand and South Carolina. It's currently playing in Edinburgh before a further UK tour in the autumn.
