Chronicling the explosive career of a twentienth century genius, Brilliant!
is a story about the beginning of our technological age embodied in a man
whose ideas, dreams and passions were too big for his own time. Visually
stunning, the play has many comic, surreal and dramatic moments in the ultimately
tragic unfolding of a life, told in the inimitable style that has made the
Electric Company a Canadian treasure.
"Theatrical magic”

"The young artists of the Electric Company display a dizzying
