Samuel Beckett's
HAPPY DAYS
June 8 - 26, 2016
Trapped in a scorched wasteland with her detached husband, Winnie keeps despair at bay with ritual, song, and her trusty lipstick. But is our buoyant, hopeful heroine in denial of her ever-diminishing world? 50 years on this powerful existential comedy of resilience - and of a woman's ability to survive against overwhelming odds - still shocks and amazes.
Happy Days is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
