In ‘Culture Club’, Melanie Oliveiro speaks with Oliver Chong, Director and Sharon Sum, Actor, Gateway Arts production, “Every Brilliant Thing”. The play centers around a young girl who, at the age of seven, begins compiling a list of everything worth living for. This list grows with her through university, marriage and her own struggles with her mother's mental health. Chong and Sum talk about how they prepared and rehearsed for the production, how the play’s themes resonate with them, and how theatregoers have been responding to it so far.
