4 CHAIRS THEATRE - Every Brilliant Thing
"When I was seven years old, I wrote a list,
a list of all the brilliant things about the world,
everything that's worth living for.
This is a gift to my mom in the hope that she will live on."
One person, one list, a million brilliant things
A one-man show to be accomplished along with audiences
Every Brilliant Thing, developed and created jointly by contemporary British playwright Duncan MACMILLAN and British comedian Jonny DONAHOE, is a story about a boy trying to save his mother from depression.
In 2021, 4 CHAIRS THEATRE brings Every Brilliant Thing to Taiwan. Directed by Artistic Director Tora HSU, the 4 CHAIRS THEATRE's version of Every Brilliant Thing features a double cast, CHU Ding-yi and LIN Chia-chi, two leading members in the company, as well as Taiwan-specific experiences in growing up, localized contexts, and familiar music to share the ups and downs in a boy’s life with audiences.
After the resounding success and rave reviews in 2021 and 2022, the unplugged version of returns in 2024! Starring CHU Ding-yi, LIN Chia-chi, and WANG Shih-wei, each delivering their own interpretations, creating mutual brilliance.

Duncan MACMILLAN
Duncan MACMILLAN is a contemporary British playwright and director. His important theatre works include Every Brilliant Thing (co-written with Jonny DONAHOE), Monster, Lungs, 2071, People, Places and Things, 1984, etc. His works often focus on the relation between individuals and topics. Every Brilliant Thing is a growth story focusing on depression and suicides.
4 CHAIRS THEATRE is a Taiwan-based theatre company that contributes itself to devising theatre pieces and staging original or localized plays. Whether a production takes off from devising, playwriting, or translating, the company keeps in mind that the work in hand, along with the body of work, should focus on the here and now and reflect the everyday life of its audience. Since its establishment in 2007, 4 CHAIRS has not only been a multiple-time finalist of Taishin Arts Awards, but also a frequent invitee to bring works to prominent houses like the National Theatre, the National Taichung Theatre, and Taipei Performing Arts Center. And, from 2019 on, National Culture and Arts Foundation has annually placed the company under the label "TAIWAN TOP" in recognition of its dedication to the performing arts industry. At present, 4 CHAIRS has made itself a company with the ability to find balance among artistic pursuits, work quality, ticket sales, and audience reception, one not to be missed in the landscape of contemporary Taiwanese theatre.
