A heartfelt yet humorous exploration of love, depression, and the lengths we go to for those we love. Through the eyes of a six-year-old, a list of “brilliant things” is created to lift the spirits of a mother struggling with depression. From “Ice cream” and “Water fights” to “Peeing in the ocean and nobody knows,” the list grows, transforming into a surprisingly touching and comedic tribute to the joy that life can offer. Performed by Ivy Meehan, this one-person show weaves humor, tenderness, and moments of raw honesty into an unforgettable message about resilience, connection, and finding light even in the darkest moments.
