Proud to Support Live Theatre!

There’s an old joke in the theatre about three brain surgeons arguing over a complex procedure. Eventually one of them says “hey, let’s lighten up—this isn’t theatre.”

Maybe it’s because I come from a medical family, but I’ve always taken my career, and my profession, very seriously. I’ve never believed that theatre could be the cure of all ills, but I’ve certainly always hoped that we have a role that can, and should, go beyond popular entertainment.

In our “post-Covid” world, we’re seeing struggles with mental health all around us—addiction challenges on our streets, increased depression in our workplaces, and children struggling with online bullying and other forms of anxiety in their schools. I believe that theatre can, and does, play an important role in alleviating these challenges, both by offering diversion, and also in providing insight and provoking empathy for those experiencing difficulties. In the case of young people, it can offer them theatre education that provides confidence building experiences that can truly change their lives forever.

Every Brilliant Thing was born out of immense sadness, but its message is one of joy and positivity. The theme of our two Pavilion productions this season is embodied in two shows that demonstrate how love, humour, and resilience in the face of tragedy is the most uplifting experience of all.

You will have enjoyed many different experiences on WCT stages this year, and I hope that each one has transformed your life in some small way. That you have been able to walk a mile in someone else’s life, and that the experience has left you with a more curious, happy, interested, empathetic view of the world. And we can’t wait to do it all again next season.

Thanks for “going together” with us in 2022/23, and we can’t wait to share the buzz about next season with you soon.

Enjoy.

Announcing another spectacular line-up very soon!

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

The original name for this play was “Sleeve Notes”. As in, the story of the making of a record. This early title suggests that the play was offered as a kind of object, something to hold onto as you experience it.

It is based on a simple idea: that a list of nice things could combat hardwired depression.

It assumes the form of one of our most ancient traditions: the storyteller.

And it holds onto, as a lifeline, one of our most ancient medicines: music, in this case, jazz–a genre renowned for its improvisational creativity.

I love this play for us now because who among us has not experienced a bout of depression in the last three years? Who among us doesn’t need reminding of what is brilliant and good all around us? Who among us has not needed some strong medicine for the soul?

Duncan Macmillan said he wrote this play to communicate to people “you are not alone, you are not weird, you will get through it, and you’ve just got to hold on.”

Every Brilliant Thing offers us something real we can hold onto. Each piece of paper is an exercise of imagination, an act of hope.

We hope you enjoy,

The co-creator and original performer of the acclaimed worldwide smash Every Brilliant Thing, he created the show alongside his friend Duncan Macmillan, performed the show over 400 times across four continents. The show and his performance at Barrow Street Theatre in New York was made into a film for HBO. His comedy act Jonny and the Baptists (alongside his other friend Paddy Gervers) tour regularly throughout Britain and the rest of the world. Blending comic songs, satirical stand-up, and traditional theatre-making, they make funny shows about serious things like wealth inequality, the climate change crisis, and the rise of nationalism and populism. His stage plays include Thirty Christmases, which opened at The Old Fire Station in Oxford, and then transferred the following year off-West End to the New Diorama, and starred himself and his third friend Rachel Parris. He has made a podcast series with his real-life partner, Josie Long, about having a baby by mistake called Josie And Jonny Are Having A Baby With You; and another with fellow Baptist Paddy Gervers about mental health and friendship called Making Paddy Happy.
