THEATRE: Happiness - Sandgate Theatre

Title: Happiness

Presented By: Sandgate Theatre

Genre: Play / Comedy

Synopsis: We’re all searching for a bit of happiness in life, but do we know what happiness really means? Roland thinks he knows the key to happiness. A psychologist specialising in the study of human wellbeing, he has no problem lecturing his students on the theories of what makes people happy – but has every problem bringing his own teachings into his family’s home. His wife Hanna, can’t stop complaining about their boring life, while his daughter Zelda, an environmental reporter for a Murdoch newspaper, is lonely and being bullied at work. When Roland suggests some game-changing strategies to Zelda that could be used to combat her unhappiness, they learn that achieving happiness may not be as black and white as first thought… With plenty of zingy one-liners and trademark Williamson style family drama, this smart comedy about the burdens of modern living asks us the big questions about why we are so seemingly dissatisfied with life when a lot of us have never had it so good.
