Happy Days (2009)

In Happy Days, the interdependence of joy and sorrow, faith and despair are enjoined in classic Beckett fashion. Winnie, buried in a mound, still greets each day wth a smile, applying her makeup and dutifully packing and unpacking her bag. Her husband, Willie, burrows somewhere behind her, occasionally scanning the daily news or lending a mumbled reply to her probing questions. Her's might not be the ideal like, but should a happy day cme her way she'll seize it with both hands. Buried slowly beneath the mire of an indifferent universe, Winnie offers the bravest response possible. She persists.

This production also toured to Belvoir St, 4 November - 16 December.
