New Wolsey Theatre Young Company, an auditioned ensemble for talented and passionate young performers aged 16 plus, will present an amateur production of the highly acclaimed West End and Broadway play Every Brilliant Thing at The Gallery Studio on St George’s Street in Ipswich from Thursday 13 to Saturday 15 August 2026.
“Water fights, people falling over, Sunday roast at Nan’s, the smell of an old book.” Every hilarious, beautiful and brilliant thing – however big or small – makes life worth living. Every Brilliant Thing, written by Duncan Mcmillan with Jonny Donohoe in 2013 and since performed around the world to critical acclaim, is a one-person play tackling the difficult subject of depression with humour, warmth and audience interaction.
Tickets are £14.99 each. In a commitment to making live theatre accessible to young people, 100 tickets are also available completely free for anyone aged under 22. Both paid and free tickets can be booked at the Gallery Studio Theatre website. Simply select your seats and enter the code EBTU22FREE at checkout to redeem a free under-22 ticket. Free tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so early booking is encouraged.

Tony Casement, Head of Creative Communities at New Wolsey Theatre and Director of Every Brilliant Thing, said: “Every Brilliant Thing is a wonderful, intimate, hilarious show that deals with some difficult subject matter with humanity, compassion, and a lightness of touch that makes the experience of watching a life affirming joy. ”
