Duncan Macmillan
Every Brilliant Thing
(with Jonny Donahoe)

This play was written by Duncan Macmillanof (a modern British writer and director, who received more than one award for his skill as a playwright), in 2014, and it has not been translated into Russian before.

The author is convinced: Theatre at its best is incredibly direct and incredibly interventionist.
