Tell a Friend
Life. She’s up to her neck in it.
Amidst blazing light and scorched grass, Winnie is half-buried in a mound. Still she greets each day with a smile, rummaging around in her handbag, applying makeup, brushing her teeth and nattering away to her husband. She’s always got a loaded revolver stashed away should it all get too much. Hers might not be the ideal life, but should a happy day come 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.
In Happy Days, Samuel Beckett’s luminous simplicity and boldly imaginative vision deals with existence in a world where existence has ceased to exist. Ironic, funny, despairing and courageous.
Michael Hurst once again takes a modern masterpiece and distils its abiding essence to produce a theatrical experience acutely insightful and unexpectedly moving. The magnificent Robyn Malcolm joins with old mate Cameron Rhodes to take us all to the brink in a tour de force performance of this legendary work.
From the writer of Waiting For Godot.
